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

National employment charity Tomorrow's People has been helping long-term unemployed people back into work for 25 years. On May 21st the charity will held an evening drinks reception in the Sovereign Suite at Newcastle Assembly Rooms to mark the occasion.

Tomorrow's People has been operating in Newcastle since 2000, and the charity is currently working with socially-excluded young people in the city helping them to move into jobs and training or back into education.

The Working It Out initiative targets disadvantaged young people aged 16-24 who are not in employment, education or training, working with them over a 16 week period to help them to develop the skills they need to move forward with their lives. The course centres around a series of 'community challenges' which the young people choose, design and resource themselves, learning to work together as a team whilst giving something back to the local community. The challenges are accompanied by intensive, practical and personalised support such as help with CVs, interview techniques and job-search support.

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 Newcastle 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.
