In March 2020 the United Kingdom went into national lockdown as a result of the pandemic. Life shifted for many people, with some having to isolate, others finding themselves out of work and changes to daily life for everyone. The service began as a fundraising campaign to train people to harvest food (as the pandemic restrictions meant seasonal workers were not available.). Skills for Progress was initially called the Employability Clinic during this time, changing in late 2020 to Skills for Progress. The service exists to help people overcome barriers to moving forward into or in work. You can visit the website at www.skillsforprogress.com
