endevour   10 #3 Posted September 22, 2009 I have spoken to someone who has been out of work for around the same time as you.

babybluejojo   10 #4 Posted October 9, 2009 depending on your circumstances places like Shaw Trust may help with training costs. They are mostly for people who are on Sickness benefits ie Incapacity Benefit or income support due to disability but if you ring them if this is not your circumstances they may be able to put you in touch with places that might.  Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
