We will be using this blog to bring you the latest news about the work of our Consortium as well as wider policy updates that you may find interesting.
To start with, we have attached ‘The Kenny Report’ written by our Community Leadership Champion, and Vice Chair Kenny Imafidon. The Kenny Report gives an rare opportunity to look into the mind of a young man who has lived in the midst of violence and despair. It highlights the crucial issues that young people face when growing up in deprived communities, and the services and approaches best placed to tackle these problems.
The ‘Transforming Rehabilitation’presents real risks and potential opportunities for new kinds of provision, particularly by the voluntary and community sectors if we come together and take up a leadership role.
The challenge of increasing opportunity, reducing inequality and increasing community resilience requires collaborative working and approaches built around the complex needs of the most vulnerable in our society. We hope that by developing grassroots solutions and offering innovative choices to commissioners and clients, we can rise to the challenge and really turn lives around.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or comments; we look forward to hearing from you.
