RE:Focus Introduction

Funded by the European EQUAL Programme under Theme A, RE:FOCUS sits beneath Glasgow’s EQUAL Access to Employment Strategy.

The aim of RE:FOCUS is to help people with health or social care needs integrate or reintegrate back into the labour market. Target groups include:

• People with learning disabilities
• People with physical disabilities
• People with addiction problems
• People with mental health problems
• Homeless people
• Care leavers
• Ex-offenders
• Carers
• People on incapacity benefits who have health and social care need

In general, these groups are often a distance from the labour market and need a range of tailored support to move into work.
