No Wrong Door
Facework's RESET programme was one of the 14 finalists in the No Wrong Door 2024 programme, a key part of the GLA's mission to help Londoners into good work. In October we were selected as one of 3 finalists to receive GLA phase II funding to develop the project.
The No Wrong Door programme is delivered by City Hall in partnership with London Councils and London’s four sub-regional Integration hub partnerships. Part of the NWD programme is through its Open Innovation Challenge which brings together policymakers, businesses, and communities to develop and scale impactful solutions.

Stephen Carrick-Davies CEO of the Facework Group says "We have proved that with training and support those with the lived experience of migration can play an important role in supporting other refugees to access better quality work or self-employment. For this to be effective it has to be personalised, human-centric and address wider issues of mental health and integration into the wider community. We are thrilled that Facework has received NWD support for us to now scale our approach and build partnerships with Local Authority job teams and wider stakeholders."
