Social Enterprise UK's Andy Daly talks to Skill Mill Managing Director David Parks and Hempsons partner Crispin Pettifer about The Skill Mill's exciting project to extend the programme they deliver to more vulnerable young people to help them break the cycle of re-offending and gain work experience.

The Skill Mill is a multi-award-winning social enterprise that helps young people break the cycle of re-offending and gain work experience. This innovative project, jointly commissioned by several local authorities is structured as a four-year outcomes contract, funded by a social impact bond – so the provider is paid for successfully keeping young people out of the criminal justice system and achieving other milestones such as gaining an accredited qualification and further employment.
