Campaigning

As part of our mission to help people find and keep work, we campaign on a cross party basis for improvements to 'Welfare to Work' and social policy. Our work includes:

contributing written and oral submissions to House of Commons’ Select Committee enquiries on a range of employment issues
responding to consultations by various government departments
briefing constituency MPs of all parties, ministers and government departments
arranging visits for MPs who wish to see our work in practice.

Learn about our campaigns, on a cross party basis, for improvements to 'Welfare to Work' and social policy under public policy developments.

What they say about us

“Although the Government state that most contracts are for two or three years, many are still for one year only. In any case, two or three years may be too short a period. I recently spoke at an event sponsored by the organisation Tomorrow’s People, which it was running as part of its Getting London Working programme. It had secured funding for six years through the London Development Agency and the Single Regeneration Budget. During that time, it achieved, pound for pound, double the job outcomes of any other SRB-funded programme nationally.” Danny Alexander MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, Liberal Democrat (Westminster Hall Debate, 13 July 2005)

“It (Tomorrow’s People) was an inspiration for the New Deal.”” Gordon Brown, Prime Minister, stated whilst The Chancellor of the Exchequer and MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, Labour (reception at Number 11 Downing Street, May 2003)

“In the last few years, a large number of initiatives have sprung up across the country that seek to offer return to work advice and support through GPs’ surgeries. For example…. Tomorrow’s People provides return to work advice in surgeries.” Department of Work and Pensions’ Five Year Strategy, Opportunity and Security throughout Life - this report singled out our GP employment adviser project (page 45, 2 February 2005)

“Tomorrow’s People is a national charity with a remarkable track record in getting people back into work. Their counsellors provide levels of encouragement and help that our Jobcentres around the country are simply not structured to provide. As a result, Tomorrow’s People gets large numbers of people into jobs far more quickly – and at lower cost – than government schemes.” David Cameron, Leader of the Conservative Party and MP for Witney (speech given 18 January 2006 at Centre for Social Justice and reported in Financial Times, 1 January 2006)
