Our Projects

This Project is a unique partnership of local authorities, housing providers and employment support organisations working across Newcastle, North Tyneside and Northumberland delivered on behalf of the North of Tyne Combined Authority.

It aims to engage unemployed and inactive housing tenants by providing flexible, tailored and intensive support to help remove barriers, improve skills and find work.

North of Tyne Working Homes is part-funded by the European Social Fund as part of the England 2014 to 2020 European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme.

The aim of L!NKCD is to support out of work residents aged 25+ years old with multiple and complex barriers to participation by addressing these underlying issues and to support them to move closer to or into the labour market.  We will work with our 4 partners across County Durham to engage, support & progress those County Durham residents most disadvantaged and most distant from the labour market including ex-offenders, housing tenants, minority groups.
