Lisa-Jane Wall, Welfare Project Manager at Worcester Community Trust commented:
“I am delighted to be launching our brand-new job clubs and support service at Worcester Community Trust. Having previously worked as a Job Coach for the Trust, I know how much value this service will bring to members of our local community.
“I am particularly excited about the wellbeing elements we are offering as part of the service, ensuring that we can give full, long-lasting support to people who are looking to make a change in their lives. As part of the Trust, we are also able to refer clients into our other projects such as The Building Block (our Construction and Skills Training Centre) and JOY (a service that re-empowers people who have been through a challenging time), which really makes it an incredible offering for people, whatever they are looking to achieve and whatever their situation.”
