Key facts

• Working Links was founded in 2000 and operates in more than 100 locations across England, Scotland, Wales, Poland and the United Arab Emirates. It is a unique organisation that delivers services to tackle social exclusion and poverty by helping disadvantaged individuals and communities.

 

• The organisation’s belief that employment is the best route out of poverty has helped more than 220,000 people back into work which is, currently, one person every two minutes of the working day.

 

• It is a public-private-voluntary company. Its shareholders are the government’s Shareholder Executive, Manpower, Capgemini and Mission Australia. It delivers effective solutions by working in partnership with organisations including the Skills Funding Agency, Jobcentre Plus, and the Probation Service.

 

• Working Links helps and supports people who face significant challenges and barriers such as those who have been unemployed for a long time to former offenders, lone parents and older workers. It also works with employers and the prison and probation services to help prisoners in over 55 prisons.

 

• By helping the most vulnerable in society to improve their skills and help them move into jobs with a future, Working Links can create a greater sense of social inclusion. This leads to better health, education, reduced crime and brighter futures.

 

• When Working Links was founded in April 2000 its shareholders decided a proportion of profits should be reinvested to support the communities where it works. The Links Foundation was subsequently launched in 2004 as a charitable trust to distribute this Community Reinvestment Fund. Since then, more than £3million has been invested and more than 150 projects across Britain have benefited.

 

• Working Links places partnerships at the heart of its delivery. It works closely with public, private and voluntary sector organisations and employers of all industries to bring a wealth of resources to all working relationships.
