We have now done two Employability classes with our new cohort and they are very eager to learn. On Monday they discussed class attitudes and I wrote them on the board. This is what they came up with!

We want to be positive, friendly, non-judgemental, humble, patient and thoughtful towards each other.

We want to be good at listening and help each other as well as willing to ask for help ourselves. It is good to share the knowledge we have and also to give each other space and not laugh at the different accents.

We want to respect each other’s cultures as well as sharing our own culture.

We want to be responsible, show good time management skills and be punctual for class.

We all want to pull our weight when we have group projects and follow instructions.

We want to be curious and creative.

Our learners had a blast exploring motorway driving through hands-on activities! From joining/exiting the motorway to lane rules, speed limits and breakdown procedures — they built a motorway model, practised vehicle positioning and discussed real driving scenarios. A practical, engaging way to build confidence on the road. Read more: https://wix.to/31QterA

Are ‘vampire’ devices sneaking energy (and money) from your home? 🧛‍♂️ Small standby draws add up — the average household wastes about £147 a year on plugged-in devices. Simple fixes — switch off at the socket or unplug — can cut wasted energy and lower bills. Read more tips and protect your pocket: https://wix.to/SiiK1Yn

St Francis Employability were proud to support the DWP’s first Neurodiverse Jobs Fair at the Herbert Art Gallery. Our team (David and Danielle) met local job seekers, promoted employment support and volunteering opportunities, and even hosted our stand under Dippy the dinosaur! A relaxed, welcoming atmosphere made the day a great success. Read more: https://wix.to/uBX0WqK Francis Employability team David and Danielle were attending the DWP first jobs fair designed specifically for job seekers with neurodiversity, held at the Herbert Art Gallery the event was held in the large open space and with limited attendees and well spaced out tables it lead to a very relaxing atmosphere where our team could promote our employment support and volunteering opportunities. Not only that but this was the first time we have ever hosted out stand under Dippy the dinosaur!!

Thank you to the Coventry DWP for organising the event and everyone we spoke to, we hope you found it useful when you dino-saw-us.

Are you or a family member missing out on the extra financial support Pension Credit could bring?

Client given advice on claiming Pension Credit as they were struggling to pay their bills and buy food on their present income. A benefit check showed she was entitled to Pension Credit.

Could you be eligible? If your total household income including any wages, private and state pensions is less than £227.10 per week as a single person or £346.60 as a couple and you have savings under £16,000, you may be entitled to this additional financial help from the DWP.

Please call Nic on 07387 66 83 22 to book an appointment for a benefit check to see if you can make a claim.

Managing changes to your circumstances

Remember you must report any changes in your circumstances as soon as they happen to the DWP or Coventry Council, even if you're not sure whether they affect your benefits. This ensures you are not being overpaid benefits that you would need to pay back at a later date or it could mean an increase to your income.

Examples of changes you must report include if:

o You move house
o Who lives with you changes
o If you have a health issue (you may be entitled to more money)
o Your rent changes
o Your income changes (either increases or decreases)
o The amount of savings or assets you have changes
o The people you live with changes
o Adult children start college, University or work
If you need help to manage any of these changes, please call us immediately on 07387 66 83 22

New Students - welcome!

I am just preparing now for my new employability students and it is the 24th cohort I will have taught and it begins next week. I never get bored of it! I have seen so many students empowered with new job search, interview and teamwork skills and - very important - confidence! It has also been really good to see some gain employment! I had a previous student who came in today with a beaming face and told me how grateful she was for the skills she had previously learned. I am really looking forward to next week
