Group helps get 70 people into work in Dundee

“She had issues settling into life. “Again, we helped her into sustainable employment and now she is thriving.

“That’s what we want to highlight – we are here for younger or older people. Age is no barrier.

“We are here for anyone looking for employment.”

The event in Dundee will highlight the diversity of those helped and celebrate the project’s successes so far.

It will also recognise all the hard work and effort put in by the individuals and groups involved.

Billy added: “We can help anyone looking for employment, but we are nothing without the employers.

“So as well as us searching for people looking for work, we are looking for employers to come to the event and get involved also.

“We hope the event will allow a bit of networking between partners, employers and people looking for work.”

The celebratory event will be held at Discovery Point next month, with the date still to be confirmed.

Billy said he hopes around 50 employers can make it along to the event.

He is also hopeful to secure a keynote speaker from the Dundee business community.
