About Us
What is the Positive Communities 2 Project?
Positive Communities 2 is a partnership of seven grassroots organisations and aims to provide a range of personalised support services for key target groups to help them address any barriers or issues they have which prevent them from moving from economically inactive to a more active status within the labour market. It will deliver a range of support services in line with those interventions proposed under the UKSPF E33 stream. The project will offer intensive one-to-one wrap around support aimed at those areas with a high percentage of economically inactive Asian females (e.g. Greater Highfields), and other target groups including those who are looking after the home or family, those who are long-term sick or disabled, those who are 50+ and 16-24 year olds.
