PLIAS Resettlement

What PLIAS Resettlement does

PLIAS Resettlement Ltd is a UK-registered charity (no. 1119468) and company limited by guarantee (no. 5644439), founded in September 2004 and headquartered at Unit 12, Bridge Park Complex, Harrow Road, in the London Borough of Brent. The organisation provides resettlement, reintegration, and preventative support services to four overlapping beneficiary groups: adults and young people (16+) with criminal records, victims of crime and people at risk of offending or victimisation, BAME women and girls facing violence and harmful practices, and NEET (not in education, employment or training) young people aged 16-24. Services are delivered via one-to-one appointments at offices in Brent (Bridge Park Complex, Unimix House on Abbey Road) and outreach locations across seven North and West London boroughs — Brent, Harrow, Barnet, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hillingdon, Hounslow — with recent geographic extension into Enfield and Waltham Forest in North/East London.

The organisation operates a portfolio of twelve named programmes anchored on an Information, Advice & Guidance (IAG) framework accredited under the nationally recognised matrix quality standard. The portfolio spans employment support (Back on Track Brent, Back on Track North & East London), youth violence prevention (I Am Brent, Step Up), health and wellbeing (Health Matters, HEPS, NEON), digital inclusion (Cellnex Digital Inclusion Project), support for BAME women and girls (P&ACT / Phoenix Project), vocational training (Building Futures, including pre-release work at Wormwood Scrubs Prison), and a memorial bursary scheme (David Stewart Bursary). Core technology is human-delivered casework and group workshops — there is no proprietary platform, software product, AI/ML capability, public API, or SDK. Revenue is derived entirely from grant funding (institutional and charitable trust grants) and donations; all beneficiary services are provided free of charge. Identified grant funders include Brent Council, the Department for Work & Pensions, City Bridge Trust, the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, the Lloyds Bank Foundation, Youth Futures Foundation, John Lyon's Charity, the Mayor of London's Violence Reduction Unit, Cellnex, Shared Prosperity Fund, Brunel University, London Community Foundation, Edward Harvist Trust, The Pilgrim Trust, and G4S.
