Working Neighbourhoods :)

I have just returned to full time work this week after long unemployment through illness. I was lucky enough to live in an area that has a Working Neighbourhoods scheme which provides more help than the job centre do at finding you work etc. They provided me with one weeks pay because I had to do a week in hand.

There site is http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/cms.asp?Page=/Home/Partners/WorkingNeighbourhoods

You have to be living in the following areas though http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2004/20040959.htm so check your postcode.

I am well made up I am now working :)
