Ways Into Work was a part of the recent CVS Slough event at Singh Sabha, where our colleague Rahma and Monica joined other incredible organisations, all working towards one shared goal: improving the wellbeing of our community. 🤝 A huge congratulations to Asma Aziz on her appointment as Chief Executive Officer of CVS Slough! Her inspiring leadership brought the event together, highlighting the power of unity and collaboration. From meaningful discussions to a fun and thoughtful quiz session, we were able to share ideas, listen, and learn from others including Turning Point, Frimley Health, Youth Parliament, and many more. It was truly energising to see how aligned we all are in our missions.💙

It was great to get a chance to talk to Tan Dhesi MP – Member of Parliament for Slough, on his recent visit to The Curve. He was very interested in the work we do and the positive impact it has supporting people with barriers to employment, into paid work. Our Charity successfully works with those most affected not only helping to ‘Get Britain Working’ but also meeting our mission of ‘Changing Lives One Job at a Time’. We look forward to continuing the dialogue with him to further benefit residents of Slough.

Ashonte's hard work and positive attitude are inspiring! ✨ A huge thank you to M&S, Royal Berks, who have supported many young people year after year. This year they are providing Ashonte with this amazing opportunity and once again helping us to break down the barriers for young people with a disability in gaining employment. A huge thank you to Marks and Spencer's for their commitment to empowering young people with barriers to employment by helping them develop the skills they need. Want to see Ashonte in action?
