Directory
The West of England Works Project is delivered by a network of Anchor Partners who are responsible for coordinating the support that each participant receives from initial engagement to ultimate progression. Each Anchor Partner is responsible for either a specific geographic area or a specific category of participant and may draw upon the experience of additional specialist partners to design and deliver a truly individualized programme of support. The geographic and thematic anchor partners are detailed below:
