Funded. Probably not. And if so, not to the tune it needs to be.
I just had a really great conversation with Work and Thrive Newcastle, learning more about the work they are doing with groups across the city. A group of passionate people working hard to support people get good jobs, learn new skills or just get some advice on #career options.
