New Contract wins

We’re delighted to have been awarded three major new contracts, helping even more people to change their lives for the better. 

Brent Green Skills contract

Our Brent Green Skills contract for unemployed in London went live at the beginning of October. This project will provide opportunities for Brent residents to engage with employers in the emerging Green Skills sector also widely referred to as the Low Carbon and Circular Economy, which is a growth industry in Brent, and gain the knowledge, skills and experience to develop careers in this sector. The central aim of this programme is to support residents to upskill themselves and become more employable through various targeted Sector Work Academy type Programmes (SWAPs and formerly SBWAs).

Dependency and Recovery service in Humberside and London

We have also won a contract to deliver the Dependency and Recovery service in Humberside and London. The service will help over 8,000 people on probation (prison leavers and those on community orders). It is part of the suite of add-on services that probation teams can commission to provide bespoke wrap-around support to their clients and has been designed to ‘bridge the gap’ between probation and substance misuse services in the community, by building their motivation and confidence.  

The service will involve working closely with Probation Teams, developing their understanding of substance misuse and raising their awareness of the support available through community providers of treatment. It will also involve us brokering referrals and helping to address gaps in the criminal justice pathway.

The contracts were be mobilised through July and August and went live on 12th September.

Psychosocial services at HMPs Onley and Aylesbury

We have also won contracts for psychosocial substance misuse services at HMPs Onley and HMYOI Aylesbury.

At HMYOI Aylesbury we will be subcontractor to Central And North West London NHS (CNWL).

Both services went live on the 1st of October.
