Joining Darlington Borough Council to help staff and council visitors deal with the life changes that can result from redundancy or a new career.
Today, two of our Outreach Team joined volunteers from the Darlington branch of Samaritans, along with other organisations including Job Centre Plus, Darlington College and Tedco at Darlington Borough Council town hall. We were there to offer support to visitors and council staff who may be facing redundancy, retirement or seeking to change career.
We talked to people who were coming up to retirement, looking for a new job, thinking about starting their own business, dealing with redundancy, or generally interested in what support they could access to help them deal with what can be a stressful time.
Thank you to the HR team at Darlington Borough Council for inviting us along.
