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

National employment charity Tomorrow's People has been helping long-term unemployed people back into work for 25 years. On May 14th the charity held a lunch-time reception at Maidstone Community Centre to mark the occasion.

Tomorrow's People has been working with long-term unemployed people in Maidstone for 20 years, and in this time has successfully supported a great many people to overcome their barriers to employment and turn their lives around.

Tomorrow's People is currently delivering two projects, one of which works with young people aged 16-19 helping them to develop vocational skills which are necessary in the workplace providing pre-employment and in-work support such as CVs, interview skills and job-search. The second programme targets clients in the 18-50+ age range, offering them job-search and practical support as well as helping them to develop the confidence and self-esteem needed to move into work.

Tomorrow's People believes that in the current economic climate our services will be more in demand than ever. We are confident that with the excellent team we have in Maidstone our work in the region will continue to go from strength to strength, and the charity will continue to make an important contribution to the local community.

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.
