Former Work Programme provider to close

The employment charity Tomorrow’s People is to close, with 135 jobs at risk.

The charity, whose income shrunk from £8.7m in 2015/16 to £4.8m in 2016/17, put an announcement about its closure on its website today ...

Its latest annual report, for the year to the end of March 2017, attributed the near-£4m slump in income over the previous year to three factors.

First was a decline in funding from the Department for Work and Pensions’ Work Programme contracts in south-west England. “These contracts are pure payment-by-results, and income has declined as the number of people going through the Work Programme has fallen,” the annual report said.
