Work Programme is performing well below expected targets

26 Feb 2013 - 22:52 by walt.crowson

When the Work Programme was first introduced as part of the new Welfare to Work agenda the LSEN organised a number of meetings, seminars and events to inform voluntary organisations about the opportunities and risks of getting involved in the Programme as a sub-contractor.

It became clear, early on in these discussions, that the Programme did not recognise the difficulties many people at a distance from the labour market would find in re-engaging in sustained employment.

BME women’s social enterprise learning group

30 Jan 2013 - 11:04 by michelle.foster

Routes to Solidarity will shortly be running a small project on BME women and social enterprise. Routes to Solidarity will bring together a small number of BME women who are developing social enterprises and would like to get support in this work.

The idea is to host regular (maybe monthly) group sessions, each one focusing on a specific aspect of developing a social enterprise (e.g. market research, legal issues etc).
