and experience to help them secure<br />

long term employment.<br />

Helping people back<br />

into work<br />

In summer <strong>2017</strong>, we launched anew<br />

initiative to help people struggling to<br />

find employment back into work.<br />

The Copper Foundation gives long<br />

term unemployed people 12 month<br />

contracts working alongside our<br />

experienced tradespeople to gain<br />

knowledge and experience in anumber<br />

of fields. They also receive mentoring<br />

and advice on how to compile CVs, fill<br />

in job application forms and interview<br />

technique training.<br />

By the end of their time with us, they<br />

will have gained the necessary skills<br />

Lewis Jones, who has gained ajob in<br />

our neighbourhood team, said:<br />

I’m over the moon to have landed<br />

this new opportunity. I’ve learned<br />

agreat deal over the past year by<br />

being part of the Copper Foundation<br />

project. I’ve worked with agreat<br />

bunch of boys and had fantastic<br />

support from my supervisors<br />

and manager.<br />

The project is set to expand further<br />

with up to 80 people being given<br />

opportunities over a five year period.<br />
