Opportunities Fair – jobs, courses, volunteering and more!

ByNorthmoor Community Association

18 people came to our first Opportunities Fair held in October 2019

Five Manchester organisations came together to give members of the community one-on-one support with jobs, courses, training, volunteering, job searching, CVs and learning to use the computer.

The residents who attended the opportunities fair were between the ages of 19-59 and from Longsight, Ardwick, Didsbury West, Burnage and Gorton & Abbey Hey.

Thank you to all the organisations that come together to help the Manchester community find the opportunity right for them. Thank you to Great Places Housing who had provided funding for food and drinks.

This was our first Opportunities Fair and we hope to have another one in 2020. Please get in contact if you would like to discuss this more: info@northmoorcommunity.org
