Case Study: Home-Start

Wokingham

Bracknell Executive Job Club was awarded £1,500 from Berkshire Community Foundation’s Business Philanthropy Club Fund in 2015.

The club provides free services, provided by volunteers, to improve the job search skills of people from a broadly managerial and professional background who have been made redundant and are seeking employment.

The services, which include CV writing, interview preparation, networking, confidence building and career re-orientation, have helped 43% of members (with an average age of 49) to get back into work.  The grant was awarded to help the club meet essential running costs.

“I don’t believe I would have performed as well or received job offers as quickly without your programme content, networking encouragement and the group engagement environment that you facilitated every week.”
