Without the help of @LDN_VRU @SadiqKhan @LibPeck @_RocketScience_ we wouldn’t be able to do the things we do for young people in London to keep them away from violence and take the knives out of their hands and ‘minds’ #StrongerFutures it’s about impact!
Young people living in Longbenton, North Tyneside shared their report with MPs and Peers in Parliament yesterday. Interesting findings outlined in the Barriers to Employment report, well worth a read. @NorthTyneCA @_RocketScience_ Huge thanks @GlindonMary @Peoples_health
WOW WOW WOW THANKYOU @LDN_VRU another 2 years to support #youthatrisk @_RocketScience_ @AREtweets_ @ARE_R2S @Renaisi this will help us to keep young people safe & away from committing offences & being at risk of violence! #StrongerFutures 2.0 @LibPeck @MichaelRocketSc @SadiqKhan
We are a business with a social purpose helping organisations to challenge inequalities and improve the social, health and economic wellbeing of communities across the UK. Our team supports clients to do this through effective research, evaluation and grant management.
We're conducting an evaluation of Fair Start Scotland, the first national rollout of a devolved approach to supporting long term unemployed individuals many of whom have long term health conditions. Our work has been used to refine the performance of the programme.
We were commissioned evaluate the Macmillan at Glasgow Libraries programme which provides cancer information and support services to people affected by cancer. The evaluation focused on programme development and explored how it can become financially sustainable after funding.
We carried out a youth needs assessment for the newly established Young Westminster Foundation in 2017 and were re-commissioned in 2020 to engage young people in updating the needs assessment during Covid-19. Read the full report here: bit.ly/3I1aYCd
Feedback from the funders we work with is vital to our continued improvement as an organisation, and so is feedback from grant recipients like this: The pandemic was a difficult time for many, and we’re proud of the work we did in supporting those who needed it most.
Last month we spent a fantastic afternoon in Newcastle with North of Tyne Combined Authority celebrating the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector Youth Employment Programme together with funded organisations and the young people supported through the programme.
Thanks to Newcastle City Council for their kind feedback on what it’s like to work with our team. To find out more about working with us, get in touch: bit.ly/3LEqS73
We’re proud to be working with Mental Health Matters to support the development of their employability services. This has included a review of best practice in employability services for those with mental health needs and the development of a series of Case studies.
