But thanks to the Get Oldham Working WorkWell Vanguard service, he accessed therapy, career support, and even free gym passes to help rebuild his confidence. Now, Joe has a fresh start as a chef at The Last Stop restaurant in the Egyptian Rooms and for the first time in a long time, he feels excited about the future.
