- Social isolation or loneliness
What did we offer?
We assisted in finding individual’s paths to work, from enhancing skills, to helping break down any obstacles holding them back.
We provided access to free opportunities, such as volunteering and work placements to grow their experience, and free training through Move Forward, including maths, ESOL and digital skills courses.
Our network helped each person grow personally and professionally, providing personalised help and guidance.
Our overall aims were to:
- Provide support from personal growth and development, to securing a new job.
- Build strong connections with people and organisations around Lancashire.
- Collaborate with existing services and create new ways to access support.
