Project to help people back into work
Natalia Wealleans-Turner, Project Manager of Building Better Opportunities Getting Cumbria to Work
A project to help people back in work is urging people to contact them for support even during lockdown.
The Building Better Opportunities Getting Cumbria to Work (BBO GCtW) project supports people in the Barrow and South Lakes area aged 18 and above, who are either unemployed or economically inactive.
It is aimed at helping people facing multiple and complex barriers to move towards employment.
People who have been helped include mums looking after pre-school children or people caring for loved-ones, people with physical and learning disabilities or mental health conditions and people recovering from problematic substance use.
