Role and Purpose of Churchfield Community Trust: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Paul O'Donnell:
In some cases people would link in with us through our outreach programme initially and would then progress to community employment. We would maintain a relationship with these people, having established trust, and would work with them first in our outreach and then in community employment. Some opportunities may arise in the garden café, as we spoke about previously. We are looking at expanding our horticulture initiative. We are taking on contracts at present for maintenance of various projects and we hope to implement phase 3 of our enterprise initiative. In terms of progression, I referred previously to training and employment officers. Returning to college may be an option for some persons or, ideally, returning to work. However, the options for returning to work for people with a low skills base are minimal.
