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.

Treasures Foundation exists to search out the treasures in female ex-offenders whose lives have been chaotic and marked by multiple and complex issues. We have 9 spaces in our supported housing in London.

Many of our women come from backgrounds of abuse, where they have turned to substance misuse and addiction. Often, they have lost their self-esteem, homes and families. The houses we provide are safe places where women get back on their feet after coming out of prison. Our objectives reflect this:

1) To provide a safe house to meet the housing needs of women exiting prison.

2) To improve the healthcare, education, life skills and well-being of the women through tailored care programmes.
3) To help the women on their journey towards independent living.
Without our work ex-offenders coming out of prison are at risk of falling back into chaotic lifestyles, of returning to domestic violence, drug and/or alcohol abuse and crime. This is in no one's interests.
