We will link with care providers; care training providers and care operators so that they can come and talk about what is needed to enter a caring role. We know that, nationally, there are 165,000 vacancies in this sector. The problem of recruitment is acute in London where there is much competition with other sectors. Our cohort of service users embrace a large number of community languages, which is a considerable advantage in this respect. The disadvantage is that communication, about the issues, are invariably in English and though their speaking and comprehension, reading skills are less so. Similarly, there is a recruitment issue in hospitality. We want to work with employers and South Asian Women so that skills needed can be learned and developed which provide opportunities for them to access more than menial jobs. Cleaning is an important job and is a good way into employment. We need to work with women to raise awareness of learning opportunities that will enable progression.

£50,000 over five years (5 x £10,000) to contribute to weekly arts and craft sessions and group outings around London and the associated costs.

The funding will be used to deliver activities and provide a warm space for the community. The project aims to reduce loneliness and isolation improving mental health.
