Do you need extra support?

If you have not experienced work or have a gap in your work history, low confidence or a previous erratic lifestyle such as problems with drugs or alcohol or a criminal history then we offer support, help and guidance to overcome these barriers

We encourage people and work on a one to one basis to negotiate a suitable volunteer placement. Volunteering will enhance skills to find employment and references, build networks and create a routine as a model for employment.

Learning needs, childcare, health and low morale can all be assisted by volunteering and there is often a chance to gain training.

Please visit our Health and Wellbeing Team's webpage for more information.
