In the past year, Flep has worked with 50 families, helping 22 parents find work and another 16 enter further or higher education. In return, parents agreed to become more involved in their children's education in order to improve their behaviour and results.

The pilot received £101,000 from the European Regional Development Fund and Neighbourhood Renewal Fund.
