We know and understand how difficult it can be to find work and maintain your financial and emotional wellbeing. 

Our free, friendly and supportive course offers one-to-one coaching and group support to prepare you for employment.

The work and money support programme combines development of personal, financial and employability skills

If you are unemployed and looking for work, hoping to increase your household income or need help to manage your money, we are here to help.

We want to help you with a package of support that best meets your needs.

This could be the starting point you need. 

Find some focus on you and your needs, then plan for a positive future

We will consider how you learn, your areas for development, review your current situation and hopes for the future. We will work with you to design your action plan to make positive steps to meet your short, medium and long term goals.

If you wish to return to work in some way and engage in wellbeing and employment sessions, but are unsure how to start, then we can help with 1-2-1 support with our employment advisors.
