I work or the Future Bright project (delivered locally by Bath & North East Somerset Council) I am reaching out to parish council in light of the cost of living crisis to see if we are able to offer support to residents around their employment and career opportunities. I am aware that some of you have previously advertised our project on your websites, our eligibility has changed so we’d be really grateful if you could update the information that you have posted.

What can Future Bright offer?

As a reminder Future Bright offers FREE one-to-one coaching support to residents in Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol and South Gloucestershire  who are currently in work and either earning below the Real Living Wage (£9.90 per hour), or receiving in-work benefits.  The project is tailored to the individuals wants and needs and aims to provide positive outcomes that lead to improvements in income, working hours, education, skills, attitude and/or wellbeing.

How can you tell residents?

We have produced a simple toolkit that you can use to spread the message to residents. It contains content for a newsletter and a couple social media posts. Graphics for the social media posts are embedded in the toolkit but we have also attached them separately in case there are any issues with quality.

What else can Future Bright do to support you?

We are really keen to encourage local residents to access Future Bright as we have seen how the positive changes that individuals make in relation to their work can impact throughout their life and wellbeing. If we can support in any other way; providing hard copies of leaflets, digital leaflets or attending events, please do let us know.

As always you can find more information about Future Bright here: www.futurebright.org.uk
