Lovely to have @Chris_AttwellLD at our 1st Employment Support Conf last week! The Community Inclusion Grant last yr from @portsmouthtoday enabled us to kickstart our project #FoodwithFriends, where the food & health talk part started.
Thank you for your support & lovely words😌
Pleased to be at the first @workbetterinnov Employment Support Conference, to help migrant jobseekers take their next career steps.
WBI is a great social enterprise, working tirelessly to make it easier for marginalised individuals be part of an inclusive & sustainable economy.

Taking a moment today #AntiSlaveryDay2023 to remember past injustices & hope for a more just future. Starting locally to find shared spaces & understanding. Congrats @action_asylum on your 1st yr 🎂 of bringing #asylumseekers & communities together. @Jen_Sustrans @PompeySanctuary
Today #AntiSlaveryDay at the 🇬🇧 House of Commons, our Director of Community Engagement @AnitaDavid2012 and #asylumseekers to #Portsmouth helped launched the National Action Asylum Project, connecting #asylumseekers with their local communities.
Just look at those smiles!! 😊 1/2

With the PM's focus on 16-18 qualifications this week it's time to remember those who have already left the education system with none. Once again, post 19 adult education is overlooked - no new funding, nothing for tutors.
All eyes on the Autumn Statement to correct this?

In the article👇, @bonny_ling speaks to @TaiwanNewsEN on the text of the 1st agreement in US-Taiwan trade talks.
She esp notes the commitment to abolish #recruitmentfees for migrant workers, but “the challenge is making these protections a reality”.

After learning #jobsearching strategies last week, our Employment Support participants learned to tailor their #CVs according to specific roles in the #UKJobs market.
Each workshop brightens their hope to positively contribute to the economy
Thankyou @yourCOPC and @WEAadulted

120 years ago today, Albert & Frances Mansbridge created the WEA 🍰🎈🥳And what a 120 years we've had! But it's not just our history that we're proud of. With a new site & wide range of courses, we're excited about what's yet to come. See our courses here: thewea.info/_WEA

Why do people volunteer? 🤔
👉 Out of a sense of justice and #equality
👉 To be an instrument of #peace
👉 To end all forms of #discrimination
👉 To respond to the needs they see in their communities
Why do YOU volunteer?
