Social investment enables new ethical recruitment agency

A Birmingham social enterprise that has supported nearly 1,300 people with convictions has secured £100,000 of social investment to launch a new ethical recruitment agency and refurbish its training academy.

New Leaf Initiative, which is based in Allcock Street in Digbeth, is now planning to place 100 clients into work in the first year by supporting companies wishing to increase their social value to find and appoint motivated, local, work-ready people emerging from diverse and often disadvantaged backgrounds.

Backed by funding from the Sumerian Foundation, this latest move will provide a commercial boost for the CIC, as well as creating a clear pathway into employment for the individuals it has been supporting since 2014.

Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, marked the launch of the new service during a tour organised by Big Society Capital yesterday, where he saw first-hand how people with convictions are being supported to move away from crime and into work.

The visit comes just a few weeks before the Government announces how it will allocate the English portion of nearly £1billion of dormant assets that can be used to help levelling-up.
