Building Better Opportunities

Building Better Opportunities is a project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and European Social Fund. The project supports projects in England that tackle poverty and promote social inclusion across Peterborough, Fenland and West Norfolk

The BBO funding is being delivered in 38 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) areas according to local priorities, which have been set by the LEPs themselves. It is supporting a variety of projects, ranging from those improving employability for the most disadvantaged, helping those with multiple and complex needs, to improving financial literacy.

eMploY-ABILITY Mission Statement

Across our programme, we will work together with those furthest from the labour market,  To deliver the best support and outcomes for our participants.

We will be recognising their individual needs with a tailored package of barrier-busting and support interventions – taking them on a journey into work, training or actively seeking work,  Moving at their pace and with their goals in mind.

We will build a programme that raises long-term awareness and confidence in underrepresented groups and those with additional barriers, that fosters greater social inclusion both in terms of economic and community participation – building a legacy for continued positive change and outcomes for the community and beneficiaries.
