Let's create generous inspiring experiences and spaces that support skills and opportunities for people that are growing up and living here.
Let's support small businesses to have the spaces they need to grow and be able to recruit the talent they need from within the local community as much as possible.

Local people miss out on opportunities in the city and say they are judged for living in Stonehouse
Many people are juggling 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet and can’t afford to take time out to retrain or fit in with fixed training programmes
People have been led to believe they can’t do it or these opportunities are not for them.
People don’t have the stability, social network or family to help them get good jobs or take their first step in a new career.
Transitioning into paid work after being on benefits is very challenging. -
Stonehouse is known for innovation and creativity, a place you would want to start or grow your business or get skills to take your next step in your career
Volunteers and workers have access to high quality training offering transferable skills
You know lots of local people who are getting good jobs or are starting / growing their own businesses locally
Systems recognise the whole person that needs support and will have ups and downs
We celebrate the opportunities that people and organisations access and create and learn from the things that don’t work.
