Note of apology: It transpires that the above A4E Chief Executive Andrew Dutton’s reference to the ‘Tussauds Group’, is not the original company of the same name. Those companies listed above are now part of Merlin Entertainment, who are not and never have been part of any Workfare scheme.

[4] Statement on Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Work Programme scheme (WorkFare)
February 17, 2012
“Marie Curie will not participate in the scheme in the future. ”
http://www.mariecurie.org.uk/en-gb/press-media/news-comment/statement-work-programme-scheme/
[5] The Work Programme (also known as WorkFare) “…in 2011 Shelter reviewed its involvement and decided not to participate in the scheme.” 17 February 2012
http://england.shelter.org.uk/news/february_2012/shelter_statement_on_work_programme
“The names and locations of organisations participating in the Work
Programme in the South East (Kent, Surrey and Sussex) Contract Package
Area by providing mandatory work placements through the DWP’s prime
providers G4S and Avanta Enterprise Limited and their subcontractors.”
http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/foi-3238-2011.pdf
“The following organisations provide work placements for A4e, specifically in
the Maidenhead area.”
http://www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/foi-2598-2011.pdf
“A list of those organisations signed up to provide work
placements (4 weeks, unpaid) under the Mandatory Work
Activity and Mandatory Work Programme schemes as referred
by JCP and its linked provider (A4E & Maximus) in the Thames
Valley area, listing each name by town heading (Reading,
Slough… etc).”

Note: Those organisations, such as Age Concern, are listed without reference to locality of workfare placement(s) as they are a National organisation. However, it is possible for placements to have been organised on a local level without Corporate consent. Some organisations may be agencies that match volunteers with voluntary work placements, DWP Workfare Providers may be using them without the coordinating organisation or placement provider fully understanding the placements are Workfare.
