Mental Health and Employment Social Impact Bond - Project
Project overview
The funding has been offered for a five-year social impact bond to support people with severe and enduring mental illness to get into work in Staffordshire and Tower Hamlets. Up to 2,800 people will take part in the programme voluntarily and move towards employment through a recognised approach called Individual Placement and Support, and payments as they take up placements. Payments will fund service delivery and repay £400,000 start-up investment capital to Big Issue Invest.
