When first engaging with CFO Levi* was experience low mood and anxiety, but wanted to take steps to move into employment.
His Support Worker at the Middlesbrough CFO Activity Hub helped Levi* to create an up-to-date CV and discussed relevant training opportunities, landing on a CSCS site safety course as the best option. Together they also created a bank account to complement Levi* re-joining the labour market.
Throughout the CSCS course at the Hub Levi* communicated well and was invited to other Hubs in the area to help deliver sessions and scribe, as a volunteering opportunity.
