3SC manages contracts on behalf of voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The delivery of public services is a difficult and competitive marketplace, dominated by large commercial organisations that can lack the person-centred and inclusive approach to public services that the VCSE sector excels at delivering. 3SC gives these organisations a chance to compete for, and ultimately deliver, such contracts. We have built supply chains and worked with more than 550 different delivery organisations across 16 programmes in the welfare to work/employment, young people, criminal justice, and disabilities’ arenas. 3SC has supported and enabled the VCSE sector to access more than £62 million since its inception through our directly delivered contracts and Transforming Rehabilitation activities. We believe that the needs of people using public services, especially those who are hardest to reach, are best met by experienced, local, passionate and mission-driven organisations.

Alabaster Coaching is a new and bespoke developmental, trauma-informed and person centred coaching service for justice-involved mothers in the UK. The coaching model is designed from research and the voiced needs of mothers within the justice system who in many cases are still badly underrepresented and served, for more safe, compassionate, actively listening spaces for self reflection, expression, connection and exploration of their maternal identity, choices, emotions and needs. The trained female coach in collaboration with the mother, whether one-to-one or in small groups, supports and empowers each individual mother in their personal goal setting, whether they are actively parenting or not, in their journey toward greater self-understanding, goal attainment and personal development, which also encourages better reintegration back into their families and society and a more positive future.
