We will take everyone’s individual circumstances into account and work closely with customers to help them through this challenging time.
“We are invested in communities and are working to increase employment. We are achieving this by collaborating with employers and offering training opportunities. We will keep exploring how we can connect people to sustainable employment, create communities and empower lives.
