Hear about how they’ve faced the acute challenges such as high rates of unemployment and crime combined with poor health outcomes and low average household incomes.

• Hannah Brownhill – Inspiring Claremont Project Coordinator, Empowerment – Hannah is based in Westminster Primary School and started off on an Early Years assessment project, identifying families of worklessness and giving them one-to-one support, such as developing soft skills that will enable them to reach future employment. Hannah will provide first-hand insights of the barriers that people face when trying to get back into the workplace.

• Danny Rossie, Managing Director, RossCon Apprenticeship & Training – RossCon enables vulnerable young people to reach their full personal potential and gain the skills required to achieve long term employment.
