The area in those days was quite deprived and unemployment was very high. Rev. John Mallard was the pastor at Edward Road Baptist Church and he decided to open up the church hall on Wednesdays and offered a very simple pastoral service with hot drinks and biscuits to local residents of all faiths. John Mallard always had the idea to set up a training centre to help some of the local residents gain skills and experience to help them into work.It was in 1993, that the Jericho charity was established and the drop in service then took on an employment focus to help locals apply for work. With the goodwill of some volunteers, the weekly jobs paper, a simple computer and a telephone, locals from the community accessed the service to apply for jobs. It was soon clear that for some of the local residents, a simple jobs matching and applying service was not going to be enough. Some of the barriers being faced by these individuals were quite complex and difficult, and many people who were accessing the service wanted to better their lives but had barriers that kept holding them back.John Mallard, Christine Parkinson and others then embarked on a fundraising mission to purchase land or a building to realise Johns long held vision of a training centre. It took five years of fundraising but eventually in 1998 the current Jericho HQ building was purchased and JCP Community Business Project Ltd was created, which in effect was Jerichos first social enterprise, wholly owned by the Charity, operating as a print business and a local corner shop. The model was based on the Glasgow Works ILM model, where 60 % of time would be engaged in real paid work experience in the business, 20% on personal development and 20% on some sort of accredited formal training.About Us TodayJericho Headquarters.Today Jericho employs approximately 65 core staff with a further 50 apprentices undertaking supported work placements in one of our 8 social businesses.
