Good luck to our teams shortlisted at tonight’s @SocialValuePortal Social Value Awards 2024 🌟 We have been shortlisted for two categories: - Private Sector Leadership Award- Wates Residential: This award highlights an organisation that has made a significant contribution to the social value economy through how it is delivering its services. - Creating Capability Award- Wates Group: This category recognises the contribution an organisation has made in building knowledge and capability to deliver the social value economy. We have been shortlisted because of our ASSETS programme, a business mentoring scheme that supports social enterprise suppliers to scale up and succeed in the construction industry. Congratulations to all the finalists and fingers crossed for the Wates team! #SVA2024 #socialvalue #awards https://lnkd.in/eV4_N9dA

We are pleased to announce the opening of a new wing at HMP Stocken. This new wing will provide much-needed prison places for the Ministry of Justice, with a focus on enabling the rehabilitation of prisoners. The expansion includes facilities to support rehabilitation such as a new workshop and enhanced classroom facilities to help prisoners develop skills to secure employment after release. As part of our work on this project, we led initiatives to support inmates to secure employment upon leaving prison. We led a seven-week programme with inmates due for release in 2024 or recently released – helping them build skills to find and sustain employment. Mark Craig, Managing Director, UK South at Wates Construction said: “We are pleased to mark the opening of this new wing and to have played a vital role in providing much-needed new prison spaces in England. “At Wates, we reimagine places for people to thrive. We are proud of the contribution we have made at HMP Stocken, providing support and opportunities for those leaving prison as well as facilities for current and future inmates to develop skills to build careers after their release.” https://lnkd.in/eDHrSsDD
