We're helping remove barriers to employment. 🙌 Parker Trust received a grant through our Community Fund at the Community Foundation serving Tyne & Wear and Northumberland, to support their Pathways project. They're working with young people aged 16-25 from the local area, to help them do better in school, boost their confidence, and secure them work experience or employment in the local community. ⚡ "Our aim is to upskill local young people in and around Sunderland who may lack self-esteem, may not have any formal qualifications, or have experienced barriers to employment, so that they have a better chance of catching a potential employer’s eye and getting on their interview list." Find out more about Parker Trust and how they've used their grant here: https://bit.ly/3NAmMMZ
