Support with education, training and employment

We can also help you with accessing advice from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) about opportunities that interest you.

We don’t believe that any ambition is too big, so speak to us about yours and we will do our best to help you achieve them. We will ensure if you have any additional or learning needs, we help you to get support from the relevant services.
