Future jobs Fund

A government sheme to provde six month job opportunities to unemployed young people, the Future Jobs Fund, is actively running in Hastings, and we at Hastings Trust are supporting it.

We have been able to take on 10 new staff under the scheme who are ably supporting our projects and partnership activities, and we hope that they will find the experience useful in securing themselves future permanent employment after their six months.

We have 4 Eco-Fab technicians working on our Skills2Build project - Paul, Brendan, Sam and Joe.

We have the Trust's first ever paid receptionist, Matt, working at HQ along with Volunteer Support Assistant, Nick, HELP Administrator Lorraine, and Director's PA, Paul who provides support directly to me.

and under our partnership agreement with F-ISH Creative Trust we have two Gallery Assistants, Emma and Jack.

I am happy to welcome them all to the Trust and am confident that this scheme creates a great opportunity for young people to develop their skills and aspirations for future employment.
