The biggest success

The overall confidence of people on the programme. Many have been without employment for years and had little structure in their personal life. They have since become more organised, keep to deadlines and more motivated to find employment. Building on their own personal skills, such as maintenance or hospitality, they are now actively pursuing careers.”
