Depaul UK is shortlisted for its Broadening Horizons project. This project helps homeless and disadvantaged young people get the skills they need to get back to work by organizing work experience placements for them. Broadening Horizons is one of six schemes shortlisted for the Andy Ludlow Award, announced by London Councils. Please click “Read More”
The annual awards are open to registered social landlords, local authority housing and social service departments, NHS trusts and voluntary organisations in London. The winner will win £25,000, with £10,000 going to each of the two runners up. Three shortlisted organisations will win £2,000 each. A condition of the awards is that prizes are invested back into the winning scheme.
It is open to all young people benefiting from Depaul UK’s in-house programmes in various parts of the capital including Brent, Camden and Islington. All young people are offered a reference from their placement and assistance with updating their CV. They are also signposted to other Depaul UK projects and external agencies to support them with their next step on the path to sustained employment.
