Not to be negative because it certainly looks like a worthwhile project. However, the article doesn't mention how many of the 3,000 people remain employed after 1 year or more. Also, I think it said the project had been running thirteen years, that's 230 people employed a year. I wonder what the cost of running the project is and what that translates into per person employed, and again for how long were they employed.

Rincewind Posted 29 April 2014 Author Posted 29 April 2014 Does that include the victims of domestic violence, those kicked out by partners , those under 18 leaving a care homes, and those leaving the armed forces? It has worked and will continue to work as it has been proved through the efforts of all those involved. I know you are winding me up Matt.

Please - they've got a home the size of a planet: the police will never find the evidence.
