Partners in Broxtowe are working hard to ensure that the borough remains a vibrant place to live and work in good health. In this months newsletter we are focusing on three themes, local support to ensure everyone can participate in the economy, the environment and what’s happening in the co0mmunity.
Supporting the local economy
It’s important that people can access good work both for the financial wellbeing of residents but also the direct impact this has on health outcomes. The Stapleford Job fair will take place on 12th September where residents will be able to get advice on jobs, skills and training with stalls from a range of employment focused organisations present. The event will take place between 9.30am until 1.30pm at the Stapleford Community Centre, Cliffe Hill Avenue, NG9 7HD.
Citizens Advice will have a stall at the event where we will be able to speak with attendees about the work and volunteer opportunities we have and the training we provide. You will also be able to ask about our Financial Resilience Broxtowe project and the support we provide for people experiencing complex debt problems.
Transform Training provide employability support to 16-25 year olds under their TLC club:
