Big Lottery Fund Success for OSW
ERSA Member OSW have been awarded a two-stage grant from the Big Lottery Fund to deliver their new national programme the Ethical, Enterprise and Employment Network (3xE Network).
The Network will bring together organisations using social enterprise or supported employment models and organisations working with people who are homeless to share resources and secure public and corporate funding.
Linda Butcher, Chief Executive of OSW said, "Many of the existing models of social firms and supported employment schemes are targeted at individuals with disabilities, but there is a gap in this type of scheme for those with multiple labour market barriers and disadvantages, such as homeless individuals."
ERSA offers its congratulations to OSW in securing funding for its very valuable work.
