Homeless charity Restart, which offers drop-in, employability and mentoring services, is looking for a partner. Restart offers a volunteer pool, mentoring training and management system and a unique employability service which matches clients to a diverse range of host partners to build key personal and professional skills. Restart has 10 years’ experience in the area.
The ideal partner would be an organisation who have a new or existing space to offer a drop-in and meals to homeless clients as a way to introduce rehabilitation programmes. Restart would welcome their partner’s resources to complement their own work and they must share their values of inclusion, commitment, collaboration and co-production. They have been primarily working in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea but their links would be ideal for anywhere in Central or West London.
If this could be you, please contact Nick Gandon on 07799 477758 or nick.gandon@aureus-sv.com . Read and watch more at www.restartlives.org

The Work and Health Unit (WHU), which is jointly managed by the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department of Health and Social Care, is using a £4.2m Challenge Fund to test new approaches that can help people experiencing mental health and/or musculoskeletal (MSK) issues stay in work.
They are looking to fund around twenty Initiatives which will improve their understanding of what works in one or more of the following areas:
- Helping people stay in work by increasing their ability to self-manage their conditions.
- Helping people access advice and support about what sort of work they might be capable of doing given their wider needs and circumstances.
- Developing new approaches to help employers and individuals develop workplace solutions, or ways of working that facilitate greater participation of people experiencing these conditions.
- Improving systems by joining up services to strengthen communication, liaison or joint action.
We welcome applications from employers, charities, social enterprises, local authorities, health bodies and others from across England, Scotland and Wales.
The deadline for receipt of Challenge Fund applications is Friday 17th August at 17.00. Projects are anticipated to run between October 2018 and February 2020.
