Hi
We have been attending the ‘All About Me‘ group on a Monday morning. We have been taking part in various training and upskilling courses and improving our health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, due to our funding ending in September, the group will no longer run.
We decided to make a film about how difficult it is to gain employment when you are a lone parent: lack of suitable jobs, lack of childcare, housing issues, to name a few!
We would love if you could join us for a viewing of our film and to see some of the work we have been doing over the last few years.
Look forward to seeing you on the 5th June.
