Wingspan

Wingspan Wingspan Community Works A not for 'net' profit Social Enterprise offering Hope and Opportunity through Employment for Ex-offenders and Long-term Unemployed.

The organisations’ purpose is the provision of ‘hope and opportunity through employment’ for those repeatedly excluded from employment as a result of their past mistakes or record. Ex-offenders and the long-term unemployed (often one in the same) are given a chance to work and show the wider world of work that they ‘can’ hold down employment and that they do not always ‘blow’ the second chances they’re given. That the cycle of reoffending and or shedding of social stigma associated with long-term joblessness ‘can’ be broken and so lead to futures that no longer depend on crime or and benefits.

General information

Wingspan’s business model is innovative, adopting a wholly commercial model with the addition of mentoring and life-skills training. We provide ‘real jobs’, ‘real work’, with ‘real wages’ and in a ‘real company’ doing Grounds Maintenance, Minor Building, Painting and Decorating and Cleaning. To the target clients they ask to simply be treated ‘as a contractor’, but a contractor who, seeks out payment for works and simultaneously helping clients across Essex to deliver on Corporate Social Responsibility agendas just by useing us. At the heart of the enterprise is huge potential for contributing to positive and lasting social change through reductions in the costs associated with criminal justice, unemployment, benefits and re-offending. Above all though, it brings real hope to the lives of a number of individuals who have been denied opportunity because of their past mistakes or the lack of a continuous employment record.
