One Community Update

One Community are now open 2 days a weeks on Mondays and Thursdays starting from Monday 7th September, and by appointment only, so please email, text or call, in the first instance to secure an appointment. This will gradually build back up to opening every day from November. Please note however, that they will still offer the Monday work club from 10.00am to 15.00pm as a coffee morning drop-in, but this will be restricted on a first come, first serve basis due to social distancing. They may need to make a follow-up appointment for you for this reason.

One Community have partnered with Skills Network Ltd to provide FREE-of-charge Level 2 courses listed below. Please contact One Community directly if you are interested in a course and they will send you the link to register. One Community are continuing to support people back to work through our Tilbury Opportunites (TOPs) and Headstart to Employment Projects that are being fully funded. Some will need face-to-face support with CV writing, job applications, IT support to get through, so One Community are now able to meet at the Shop by prior arrangement. VIPs and peer support mentors will be available to support you through this process once an appointment has been secured.
