<p>The government launched a £1.5 million grant fund in the private sector to support
people to return to work. Our grant fund is enabling charities and other organisations
to launch projects for people who are currently out of work due to caring responsibilities
and want to return to permanent employment. Home-Start have previously applied for
this GEO funding.</p><p> </p><p>We have recently announced further funding to support
those with additional barriers to participating in the labour market – including people
who speak little English, people with disabilities, and those who are homeless or
have been victims of domestic abuse. GEO is scoping how best to deliver this and will
engage closely with HMT in advance of the next spending review to decide whether and
how further funding should be allocated to helping people return to work.</p>
