Funder: European Social Fund and National Lottery Community Fund.
Lead Partner: Papworth Trust.
Project: Building Better Opportunities (BBO) – Community Connections Essex (CCE).
Project Run: 2017 to 2023.
The Project, initially planned for a three-year duration from 2017 to 2020, was extended due to its success and ultimately ran until December 2023, encompassing three distinct phases. Signpost collaborated as part of a Partnership, which was led by the Papworth Trust, to deliver this initiative, which aimed to enhance employment opportunities for individuals in Essex. The project specifically targeted those who were unemployed or economically inactive, particularly those furthest from the job market and not participating in existing employment programs.
