Families To Help
We’ve pledged to support Family Champions help 100,000 families get back to work.
The intial Pilot in 8 Local Authority areas aims to get 500 families in to work.
So far Pilot areas are working with 351 families, of which 43 families have now gained employment.

The Stats
- At least 100 000 families survive solely on government funded welfare, costing approx £8bn a year’
- Without new interventions, 3 generations of unemployed people are living within a single family unit
- Currently up to 20 local agencies can support the same family, each with their own funding, rules and regulations
What Is WFE?
In December 2010, the Prime Minister David Cameron announced that he was recruiting Emma Harrison to lead a drive to get troubled families working again.
Emma said: “My role will be to inspire, to change attitudes, to make sure that every bit of the existing government, voluntary and private effort adds up to this single goal of creating happy, working families. Improving people’s lives is something I have always been personally passionate about, spearheading this campaign, I believe,is a further step forward in achieving this mission. ”
