Working with people experiencing homelessness, our innovative and accessible method of making jewellery is suitable to be made at someone's desk in a homeless shelter, acting as a solution to high unemployment and low engagement rates in temporary accommodation.

Pivot's project with Innovate UK will allow us to expand our innovative employment programmes into Housing Associations, taking on a preventative role by pioneering engaging and creative programmes which get people into meaningful employment.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
