Employment charity Tomorrow's People celebrates 25th Anniversary in Hastings

National employment charity Tomorrow's People has been helping long-term unemployed people back into work for 25 years. On April 28th the charity held an evening drinks reception at the Hastings Council Chamber to mark the occasion.

Hastings is the home of Tomorrow's People, the place where it first began, and where the charity's headquarters are today. Over the last 25 years Tomorrow's People has worked with thousands of people in the East Sussex area and has made an important and lasting contribution to the local community.

Tomorrow's People is currently delivering employment support services to long-term unemployed people who face a variety of barriers to work. The borough of Hastings is a Regeneration Area with recognised pockets of deprivation within several wards, and it is the people of these communities which Tomorrow's People supports into employment. The charity is currently delivering programmes focused on helping long-term unemployed people aged 18-50+ back into work, as well as a number of smaller support services aimed at groups who need more tailored advice and guidance, such as young lone parents.

Tomorrow's People believes that in the current economic climate our services will be more in demand than ever. At the 25th anniversary event the charity launched an exciting fundraising initiative designed to help overcome the challenging economic times we are facing. We are confident that with the excellent team we have in Hastings, as well as the fantastic support network throughout East Sussex, our work in the region will continue to go from strength to strength.

Tomorrow's People is a national charity, with a 25-year track record of success in helping people out of long-term unemployment, welfare dependency, and into jobs and self-sufficiency. Since 1984, the charity has helped change the lives of more than 400,000 people across the UK who had been resigned to long-term, even life-long, unemployment.
