What our participants say about the YES Project

The support I have had from the YES Project has been amazing. Getting a full-time job after a long period of being unemployed is all down to the help I have received from them.
Lee, YES Project exited participant
I didn't talk much before joining the YES Project. It's made me step out of my comfort zone. I'm now confident, decisive, busy and in a routine.
Liam, YES Project exited participant
When I found the advert for my job i was encouraged to apply. I was given practical interview sessions. I felt reassured that someone was there for me throughout my journey to employment.
Farzana, YES Project exited participant
If you can put your mind to it, you can do it. Be motivated!
Kyle, YES Project exited participant
The support I received helped me to get back on my feet, by pushing me out of my comfort zone. I don’t think I’d be confident going on to the course that I’m on now without the YES Project.
Joe, YES Project exited participant
My keyworker provided continual support that stopped me from giving up hope. In turn, I didn’t want to let her down as we’d built up a lot of trust.
Daniel, YES Project exited participant
