Four years in an inpatient unit, then a funded six-month placement through our SUTE programme: statutory training, a stronger CV and real workplace experience. Now a full-time NHS Healthcare Support Worker.

A two-year, £132,000 programme tackling unemployment and digital exclusion across East London, Luton and Bedfordshire reached 445 people, part of the £24.1m in funding we have managed and delivered since 2021.
“The grants awarded across the year ranged from small local ideas to innovative initiatives, all making a real difference to people’s wellbeing and daily lives.”
