Community Renewal Lifting Neighbourhoods Together

@DrScottArthurMP and @tracygilbert72 visited our Community Renewal Pennywell office today. They spoke with us & those we support about our employability service Next Step Edinburgh & how- given the right support and opportunities-it's possible to lift people out of poverty #jobs

There are sometimes many factors that stand in the way of someone moving towards employment. Our whole-person approach allows us to support and work in partnership with others to wrap around the need of the individual - as was the case with Joe. #jobs #employability #edinburgh
