The H.E.M.

The next Holistic Employment Meeting will take place at Cumbria CVS, with spotlight speakers, lunch included and the opportunity to network with others providing supported employment services.

Why is it holistic? Because if we all work collaboratively together to move someone forward into employment or volunteering, overcoming any barriers, misconceptions or stigma, we know we will be more successful. By getting together in a safe and comfortable space, we can really get to know one another and learn about each other's services, roles and build strong connections and networks to support the wonderfully talented individuals within Cumbria who just need that helping hand and support to find the right opportunity.

Please join us for lunch and networking at 12:30 - this is optional, as time is always limited in our busy working days. If you are not able to make it for lunch, you can join us for our speakers and networking at 1:20 - for a prompt 1:30 start, we will be wrapping up with a Q&A and networking opportunity until 3:30.

• Our first spotlight speaker from The Rebuild Site CIC will be speaking at 1:30.
• Our second spotlight speaker from Mobius Loop CIC will be on from 2:00.
