The Clement James Centre is an award-winning charity that empowers the community to release its potential in one of London’s most disadvantaged areas. The charity was set up to support members of the community by providing education, employment and wellbeing support, in a safe and compassionate space.
Based in Shepherd’s Bush, just a few miles from our Sand’s End Community Centre Site, we were keen to get involved with the charity as part of our commitment to supporting the communities in which we work. Neilcott employees volunteered their time to support one of the centre’s Business Engagement days. Neilcott employees worked 1:1 with the centre’s clients, taking part in various challenges to boost confidence and give advice on interview and presentation skills. The day culminated in a series of mock interviews, where participants were able to practise what they had learnt in a safe and supportive environment.
In addition, Neilcott also provided a financial contribution that covered the costs associated with running the programme, therefore allowing the centre to continue to support those that are vulnerable and at risk of long term unemployment through these invaluable workshops. The day was a real success, with participants from both sides benefitting from the experience. We look forward to collaborating with the Clement James Centre again in the future.
