Our Route to Recruit Supported Internship empowering young people
Meet Diogo - he had begun his Route to Recruit journey as a Catering Stores Assistant with the Catering Department at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Since starting in September, Diogo has made a great impression with his team and line manager. He is responsible for unpacking and sorting deliveries, stock rotation, and the general upkeep of the store room.
Diogo loves his placement, is learning invaluable skills and commented: “The best part of my job is that I am always busy. I am happy that I’m not just sitting at home.”

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.
