Talking to Peter made me see my potential and not be afraid to go it alone

Client who has secured self-employment, supported by her Employment Adviser, Peter through the Leicestershire Employment and Skills Programme in July 2024.

Meet Jane

Jane was self-referred to Real Purpose after being told about Real Purpose’s services at the local mental health NHS Trust’s Recovery College where Jane had completed some courses.

Jane had been attending the Recovery College to improve her confidence and mental health after leaving her former career which she could no longer work in due to a physical injury.

Meet David

David is in his mid-50s and lives in North Leicestershire. He has just received his first month’s pay in four years, and he is very happy about this saying that he “could not have done this without Real Purpose”.

When David joined our Leicestershire Employment and Skills Programme he said he had been impacted significantly by the pandemic and this caused social anxiety.
