We’re delighted to congratulate one of our company owners the London Borough of Camden for being selected as one of the 12 local authority trailblazers. Each of the trailblazers will get up to £350,000 to develop their housing advice services, making links to employment advice and other services in accordance with their locally identified needs. The funding will enable local authorities to create advice services tailored to the needs of their local area and local clients, away from the one size fits all approach.

We are working very closely with Camden on our Housing Employment Connections demonstration pilot. This is the Greater London Authority sponsored project and we will be piloting our approach with Camden, Haringey, Islington and Peabody Housing Trust in the late summer.

The 12 successful council trailblazers are:

1) Camden, 2) Croydon, 3) Greenwich, 4) Hammersmith & Fulham, 5) Southwark, 6) Norwich, 7) Nottingham, 8. Kettering, 9) Blackpool, 10) Calderdale, 11) Ashford, 12) Bournemouth
