Community Support set to Expand

ImageMore local people look set to benefit from advice and support thanks to a new contract with the new Flexible New Deal.

Strood Community Project has been selected to provde advice and support to long term unemployed in Strood and the surrounding area based on our success in helping people over the last 2-3 years.

Flexible New Deal is the Government's new programme to help jobseekers. In recognition that the community and voluntary sector can provide types of assistance that the Job Centre cannot organisations with a track record have had the opportunity to engage in the process. This gives groups like Strood Community Project the opportunity to offer the one to one advice and guidance and the individualised trainign and support that is so often required.

Strodo Community Project is partnering with Medway Council and a number of other Medway community organisations who all contrating with Skills Training UK.

Our expanded service starts in October. Watch this space for more details.

 

 

 
 
Winter Walks

Our Winter Walks Programme is now published. Why not join us?

With organised walks of 3 - 5 miles on Tuesdays or Saturdays not only is it good exercise but is a good social experience. Walks meet at 10.00am unless otherwise stated.

Note: our Saturday walks are suspended until Easter 2010.

It has been suggested by walkers that we inform them of the number and steepness of hills en route. We have come up with the following grading system:

Grade 0 - Predominantly over flat terrain but may include a gentle incline/decline.

Grade 1 - Moderate climbs and descents for short periods throughout the walk.

Grade 2 - Significant, or repeated, climbs and descents throughout the walk.

 

See the Photo Gallery for latest photos of walks.
