Meet Connie, Employability Coach
Connie moved from Hong Kong to the UK in July 2023. Without a job or friends she struggled with loneliness and feeling worthless.
She started volunteering with us, befriending vulnerable adults and reading to children. This helped her gain confidence, improve her English, and find a purpose.
She now helps fellow Hongkongers find work and settle into UK life. Are you ready to get help from Connie?
