The power of us

If you have ever doubted the power of your work to make a difference in someone's life, the stories in this book might change your mind.

“Us” is about the transformative power of employment. The impact that both giving and receiving a first chance can have on lives. In this book, you’ll read the inspiring stories of young people who have overcome challenging barriers to employment and the employers who gave them that chance.

These stories serve as a testament to the importance of inclusive hiring practices and the need for businesses to recognise the potential of every individual, regardless of their background. They also offer hope and inspiration to young people facing similar challenges, showing them that with perseverance and the right support, anything is possible.
