Since 2000 we have helped nearly 80,000 long term unemployed and disadvantaged people to return to work. This is a significant achievement. We work with some of the hardest to help groups, including many people who have been out of work for a number of years.

Based in the centre of Newcastle in Citygate, Government Office North East represents ten central government departments across the entire region.
They work to deliver, influence and develop government programmes and initiatives at a regional and local level, by working in partnership with relevant organisations to meet local needs.

 Groundwork supports communities in need, working with partners to help improve the quality of people’s lives, their prospects and potential and the places where they live, work and play.

We provide services that can help:

• Build safer and stronger communities
• Promote health and well-being
• Support local skills and enterprise
• Provide young people with something to do and somewhere to go
• Reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change

Our role is often to find ways of helping local people get practically involved in making decisions and managing improvements in their neighbourhood. We operate locally, regionally, and nationally in the UK working with others to add value to wider plans and strategies.

In Boldon we are running a training and employment project which is available to anyone who is unemployed, a lone parent or on incapacity benefit. The project provides the opportunity to take part in training. In the past 18 months the training courses provided have ranged from Fork Lift Truck to Nursery Assistant courses. We also provide a drop-in facility every Tuesday at Boldon Village Hall 11.30-1.30pm in partnership with TEN and Working Links. This has proved very popular and we get repeat visits from residents wanting advice and guidance around employment and training opportunities.

The training courses are funded by both ESF and Included Communities Fund (Community Foundation). The project is managed by the Outreach Manager, Julie Crocker who works part-time for Groundwork in South Tyneside tel: 07739 519198 email:  julie.crocker@groundwork.org.uk
