A NEW project to help Southend’s most deprived people get back to work has received a £400,000 boost from the Lottery.
The Starting Points scheme, run by Southend Vineyard church, will be paid the money over five years, enabling it to create personal development programmes.
Mr Williams said: “The new project means 5,000 people in crisis will receive coaching to help them remove barriers, learn skills, and prepare them for employment and education.”
The project will also offer training and advice, including help with interviews, CV preparation and writing skills.
