Salford City Council are funding the coordination of the programme by Salford CVS, which will provide the glue to make all elements of the initiative work to their fullest and to ensure that the programme remains responsive and flexible to those who most need support.
Delivery will be undertaken by five ‘core’ charity partners: Groundwork Greater Manchester, Mustard Tree, Salford Foundation, Salford Loaves & Fishes and The Broughton Trust. Their work will be augmented by the spot-purchase of specialist provision. In addition, there will also be a small grant fund for charities and VCSE organisations that can deliver in support of this programme.
The process for each individual supported will be as follows:
Assessment => Initial interventions => Preparation for training => Training/Experience => Job brokerage =>
Support to secure work => Support when in work
