to raise skill levels and to address pockets of long-term
unemployment amongst the hardest to reach and excluded groups

Community gold - support for long term unemployment
The community gold project is an
initiative to help local people into sustained
employment.
It targets those who have been unemployed for more than 12
months or those who are considered 'economically inactive' -
that is, people who do not receive jobseekers allowance, but
claim other inactive benefits.
The project is being delivered within a community
setting. It links closely with a range of support services to
help people with housing, debt, health and childcare issues,
as well as gain skills and training.
The project is currently delivered by Prevista Ltd in
partnership with local providers, including; Sacoma, East
Potential, Redbridge Institute of Adult Education, Young Peoples
Project , Ellingham Employment Services and Life Line.
