Communities for Work Plus

2022-23 was another busy year with the Hub supporting 253 participants in to work and/or attending training courses as well as helping those overcome significant barriers into work which included:

  • 31% who had a work limiting health condition
  • 17% who had care or childcare responsibilities


The data for the year shows that the majority of participants (36.5%) had been out of work for less than six months with only 3% having never worked. There was an even 12% for those that had been out of work for six-twelve months and also five years or more.

The breadth of our mentors' experience enabled the Hub to secure employment for participants across the diverse industry sectors found within the county:

31% secured a role in the Hospitality, Leisure and Tourism Sector with other notable sectors being Logistics, Construction, Retail, Social Care, Healthcare, Public Sector, Green/Low Carbon/Recycling, Passenger Transport, Security, Agriculture and Energy/Utilities.

The Hub also played a significant role in addressing the many of the skills shortages with targeted training programmes for key sectors.

Tackling inequality in all its forms remains a key priority of the Welsh Government and in recognition of the challenges that lie ahead the Hub has secured additional funding for the Communities for Work Plus Programme.
