Peter took a look around the site, met members of the local community and heard directly from the team about the difference JobsPlus is making on the ground, from Toxteth's own success story: 48 people into work, all within 24 streets.

We’re delighted to see our Managing Director, Lynsey Sweeney, featured in BusinessGreen today, making the case for why social housing must be at the heart of the UK’s green jobs strategy.
As the UK works towards net zero, we have a huge opportunity to ensure that investment in greener homes also creates meaningful employment and skills opportunities for the people and communities who live in them.
Social housing residents should not only benefit from the transition to greener homes – they can be part of the workforce delivering it.
