SOCIAL PUBLISHING PROJECT
Faragher Jones' Social Publishing Project brings on board two social enterprises set up to create work opportunities for unemployed people. Jeff Mitchell, who founded the initiatives, joined Faragher Jones on
11 August to launch the project designed to benefit socially excluded people.
Through Jeff, TBD Enterprise, which offers communications strategy development to third sector organisations, and Clean Slate Training & Employment, which employs people who face barriers to work, will join forces with Faragher Jones to publish new titles, deliver communications services and create opportunities for people otherwise considered 'unemployable'. Clean Slate Distribution, which employs homeless people, for example, already coordinates deliveries for Naked Guide maps and Bristol Review of Books.
In December, the Social Publishing Project publishes the pilot edition of a new magazine, Quids In!, promoting good financial choices for people on low incomes.

The Social Publishing Project offers contract publishing services to values-based organisations. Through it, housing associations publish tenant newsletters, charities produce project reviews and annual reports, and social enterprises have created innovative training resources and marketing materials.
Customers of the design and print facility have also utilised the delivery and fulfilment services of Clean Slate Distribution, which has undertaken the packing and delivery of tenant communications for housing providers, and door to door distribution of leaflets, for example, promoting local events for city councils.
