Your Choice, Your Future with Our Intelligent Kindness. We are delighted to have received a Grant from the Didcot Powerhouse Fund. Our project aims to support people in Didcot to: • Overcome barriers. • Build a sense of purpose. • Improve their mental health and wellbeing. • Understand the financial support available and create financial stability. • Engage in personal development, training and education. • Move closer to or into the job market. • Make a positive contribution to their community. We will do this by: • Providing a peer mentor to work with participants on a 1-1 basis. • Working with local organisations to access the support available • Enabling first steps. • Creating and empowering role models. • Tailoring our help to meet the individual needs of each person that we work with. The Didcot Powerhouse Fund was founded by local people to tackle inequality in the Didcot Garden Town Area of Influence, which encompasses the wider area of Didcot and the surrounding villages. The Didcot Powerhouse Fund provides annual grants to organisations that are supporting the local community and meet the Fund’s published criteria. The website is www.didcotpowerhousefund.co.uk If you or someone you know would like our help (and they live in Didcot) please let us know –
	"Our mission is to encourage and foster Peer to Peer mentoring and by doing so, improve education, vocational and employment opportunities."	“I would like to say how grateful I am to have such a street-wise considerate man helping me and more importantly understanding where I am coming from, how it affects me and fighting my corner. He gives me strength when I have no reserves to call upon”
	"We're just a call away! Please call us on 01865 598180"	“After establishing a trusting rapport my mentee has now agreed to attend one to one sessions with me on the Toe by Toe phonic reading programme. This reading programme will enable him to continue with his own job searches and to make much better use of the internet.”

Testimonial

“I was introduced to Karyn at the end of October and her local knowledge and connections with training providers was evident throughout the conversation. Karyn was very positive about the project I am coordinating and could also see my challenges, particularly working from a distance. Within days of me introducing someone who is working through our process, in need of specific training, Karyn had linked her up with the providers and she had signed up. The feedback I received was how Karyn was really helpful, listened and got everything moving very quickly. Exactly what I had hoped for. Thank you Karyn for every bit of direction and support.
