The north London-based communal charity offers free one-to-one advice and support on matters including navigating the job market, preparing a CV and interview skills. It seeks to rebuild the confidence of the unemployed.
Addressing the 150 guests, chief executive Victoria Sterman complimented its team of expert volunteer advisers and mentors. “They treat the job as no different from a paid role.”
Echoing her sentiments, trustees’ chair Alan Sanders added: “Ten thousand lives have been affected positively in all sorts of ways.” Many more when families were factored in.
