ALT Did you know? Antz Junction creates job opportunities for individuals with lived experience of the justice system, providing them with paid training roles. These individuals then work with the Antz Junction team to provide training to organisations, businesses, and all sectors. By doing things this way, businesses see a bigger impact, and it helps bring down walls between decision-makers and people from less privileged backgrounds, including those people with lived experience of the prison system. According to the latest data, between April 2022 and March 2023 80.6% of prison leavers who do not secure employment during this critical period, we want to support the 80%.

ALT Are you inadvertently using language that excludes your colleagues? Many of us use common phrases like "blind spot", "fell on deaf ears", or describing a busy day as "insane" without a second thought. However, these are examples of ableist language, metaphors that use disability as a synonym for something negative or "broken". Why it matters in the workplace: • Inclusion: Subtle microaggressions can make disabled employees feel marginalised. • Culture: Using disability as a figure of speech reinforces harmful stereotypes. • Performance: A truly inclusive environment allows everyone to bring their full selves to work without facing "linguistic barriers". Inclusive leadership starts with intentional communication. By making small swaps in our vocabulary, we foster a culture of genuine belonging.

ALT Bridging the gaps between business and community! True Social Impact happens when we bring businesses and hard-to-reach communities together to create life-changing outcomes. Through our mentoring programme, we’re doing more than just "helping", we’re driving a genuine culture shift led by lived experience. How it works: • Accredited Mentoring: We train employees as mentors (with Ofqual accreditation available) to support those furthest from the job market, including prison leavers. • Holistic Support: From practical skills to emotional resilience, our mentors help mentees secure jobs, enter education, and commit to meaningful roles in society. • Transparent Impact: We deliver critical, measurable outcomes while fostering a deeper understanding within the workforce. We believe that by investing in people, we don't just fill roles, we change lives and strengthen our communities. To find out more and get involved email [email protected] today.
