2. Green Man Skills Zone
Brixton’s Collaborative Skills and Training Hub
Green Man works on a ‘collaborative approach’ basis. We believe that no
one organisation can provide solutions that address the multiple barriers
that some people face when looking to return to work. Additionally we feel
it is better to collaborate rather then compete with fellow service providers
looking to deliver in the borough
Detailed here are the facilities that are available for any organisation
looking to deliver support to people out of work or surviving on a low
income. We have multiple packages available for interested parties who
want a low-cost flexible delivery space in the heart of Lambeth.
If you are interested please contact us and we will arrange for you to visit
the premises and have a look around
C
The Green Man Skills Zone (GMSZ) is based in one of the most deprived
wards in the UK and represents a collaborative approach to finding
solutions to entrenched worklessness within inner city boroughs. Initially,
a project between Job Centre Plus (JCP) and Lambeth council, delivery is
now being taken forward by Green Man Skills Zone Ltd, a new not-for-
profit organisation.
This new delivery model has been designed to continue the previous co-
operative approach but to also introduce more innovative ideas and
approaches to the training and return to work arena.
