make trax

make trax equips 16-25 year olds with the skills, confidence and ambition to pursue their goals of finding employment, further education, or training. We run this programme in partnership with Asphaleia, Gingerbread83, and The Princes Trust in Brighton and Hove, Crawley, Croydon or Worthing. It is funded by the European Social Fund.

We have focused our provision on young people facing complex barriers, who we know need additional support to achieve their dreams and ambitions. This includes care leavers (17 per cent of the cohort, with a further 17 per cent still in care), and young people with mental ill-health (35 per cent of the cohort).

We do this through a tailored package of support to meet individual needs, including:

one-to-one work to understand a young person's needs and ambitions

group sessions to develop skills needed in the workplace

CV clinics

job interview preparation

activities to increase confidence

work placements.

We know there are many barriers that young people furthest from the job market face, which is why we also help with costs like childcare, travel, and other expenses.

About Us

Justice Prince CIC, registered in March 2007, was set up by two sisters; Karen Clark and Julie Cruddas.

Both Karen and Julie have vast experience in grass roots community development, teaching, training and social research. They have extensive in-depth knowledge, experience and skills gained from hands on grass roots work in areas of severe deprivation supporting excluded sectors and individuals to engage in positive social action to transform lives and neighbourhoods. Experience includes work across sectors and within wide and varied contexts e.g. UK, Europe and Africa.

After following their separate career paths the sisters came together in 2007 to set up Justice Prince which is a small community interest company and social enterprise based in the heart of the neighbourhood in which the sisters grew up; Longbenton estate, North Tyneside.

Julie said: Developing Justice Prince CIC hasn't been an easy journey it's required real determination and resilience but nothing worthwhile is ever easy.

Their partnership has proven to be extremely dynamic and Justice Prince has grown from strength to strength with an outstanding successful track record of high quality service delivery always meeting and often exceeding agreed targets, always delivering within agreed timescales and budgets. Justice Prince has a strong reputation for innovation and integrity, remaining true to its social values and firm in the fight for social justice for all.

Karen said: We're really passionate about our work; our strong social values underpin what we do and most importantly why we do it. This is what keeps us going; it's this strength that underpins Justice Prince as an organisation.
