Signpost Greenstead Secures Major Funding for Job Skills Workshops
In a significant boost to the local community, Signpost Greenstead has been awarded funding from The National Lottery Community Fund – Awards for All England. This funding will enable the delivery of the “Job Success: Fortnightly Job Skills Workshops” project, aimed at enhancing employability skills among participants.
Over the next two years, Signpost Greenstead will run 48 fortnightly workshops designed to equip participants with essential job skills, including CV writing, job applications, interview techniques, and IT proficiency. The ambitious project aims to transition at least 100 beneficiaries into employment by its conclusion. These workshops are free to attend.
Our Core Services will continue to provide support to project beneficiaries, ensuring ongoing assistance for those who have not yet secured employment, as well as those who have, beyond the project’s duration.

New Future: A Community Hub in the Making
In an exciting collaboration with Basildon Council, Signpost Basildon is set to transform the New Future venue into a bustling hub for its operations. This move promises to significantly expand the scope of Signpost’s employment support services, benefiting countless individuals in the community.
The New Future venue isn’t just for Signpost. It holds the potential to become a vibrant space for other community groups, local businesses, and charities to host events and workshops, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration.
However, to bring this vision to life, funding is essential. Basildon Council and Signpost are actively seeking support to undertake minor works on the venue and cover the running costs for all groups using the space.
With your support, the New Future venue will become a vital community asset, enriching lives and strengthening the community. More details.
