First Steps
|
|
The First Steps project was set up to help support people with, or recovering from, mental health
issues into volunteering. The support is tailored to the individual needs by providing gentle
encouragement without any pressure.
We have had success in raising the clients' self-esteem and confidence, enabling and empowering
them to play a part in the community and move on in their lives.

Group support
|
Centre staff can provide advice on
setting up new groups. They can assist existing groups with
governance issues, creation of policies, production of annual
reports etc. and give advice on fund-raising.
Voluntary Action Broxtowe is also responsible
for setting up networks and forums for community groups and runs the
Broxtowe Community Network. We also act as a link to statutory sector
partners.

Job Clubs
|
Voluntary Action Broxtowe is fortunate to have funding currently to work with unemployed people.
We’ve built a 12-week programme, a mixture of training sessions and networking sessions.
The training will help you develop the skills you need to apply for a job – a job in itself.
The networking sessions will give you a chance to share with others in your situation, to develop strategies and provide mutual support.
There are two clubs, one for Beeston and one for Eastwood and environs.
If you are interested contact Richard (Beeston) or Colleen (Eastwood).

are useful to volunteers and voluntary sector groups. The autumn training programme for Beeston has been recently updated
and is available on our Training page which can be found here.
