Employment.

Lymington Foundation thinks that everyone should have the opportunity to work. We have set up a number of schemes to people - young and old and everywhere in between - to develop their skills as they try to find meaningful employment in our community. Here's how:

Helping people find employment can sometimes be as simple as helping put together a CV and providing interview practice.
We offer grant assistance to help with traveling and training costs.
We support local employers to develop and grow their businesses, when they may not have the time or be able to afford to do so.

There are all sorts of skilled people willing to help others in our community who are sharing their knowledge, expertise and experience to help one another.

Why does employment matter?

Well, there are a number of possible answers:

For many people “A good day is a pay day.” In other words, if you have a job or a career, you can earn money. You can buy things you need, pay your bills, have a place to live, and basically do things you want to do.
Having a job or career makes you feel good. Knowing you can do something well and earn money for your skills is a great feeling.
When you work, you contribute to the community. You help make the local economy and Lymington stronger.
When you work, you develop new skills, learn new things, and create a record of employment. Then, when you want to get a new or a better job, your experiences can help you to do that.
When you have a job or a career, you often have more self-respect, dignity, and self-worth. You are being responsible and making sure that you can take care of yourself. You are creating a solid foundation that you can build on to have a successful future.

Whether you are looking for employment, want to develop your business or set up a new business, Lymington Foundation is here to help you.
