The Northern Inclusion Consortium (NIC), is an established partnership of four of the North East's largest charities - DISC, Groundwork, Changing Lives and Mental Health Concern. See www.niconsortium.org for more information. Working with a broader set of delivery partners we are delivering the Big Lottery Fund / European Social Fund funded Building Better Opportunities Programme in Tees Valley through the Step Forward Tees Valley Programme. The programme aims to improve employability for the most disadvantaged and provide help to those with multiple and complex needs using a case management model. Each participant that comes onto the programme will be allocated to a Navigator who will provide the one-one support and enable the access to services that the participant requires. The programme aims to work with an equal number of males and females and a particular target group are females who are classed as being economically inactive, which could be the result of having childcare responsibilities or those thinking about returning to training and work after a period of illness.
