Description

This is a direct award via the 'CCS - Low Value Purchasing System' to BEAM. The BEAM service will support a group of individuals in Wigan borough to achieve sustained employment. Individuals that can access this programme will have experienced homelessness or have required drug and alcohol related support. In addition, this programme can be accessed by our care leavers where their personal experience of employment has been limited. A significant proportion of those individuals with the above background will have no employment history or are currently unemployed. Beam is a social enterprise that innovatively supports individuals into employment and also helps to secure accommodation to prevent or alleviate homelessness. Beam partners with local authorities to provide long term, sustained support by removing the financial barriers that prevent its service-users from starting work. Beam does not only offer financial help, it also facilitates engagement from the service-users it supports, empowering individuals to tell their story and providing access to an online community of supporters and peers, where service-users can view confidence-building messages from supporters, and join peer networks.
