The help you are getting from the Department for Work and Pensions is part of our European Social Fund Programme.
The European Social Fund aims to improve employment opportunities and help you if you are looking for work.
The Department for Work and Pensions uses this funding to:
- provide a wide range of services for people of working age
- promote gender equality and equal opportunities
- promote sustainable and quality employment
- promote social justice by combating poverty and any discrimination
- provide help for those who find work but need continued support
All this means the European Social Fund will help you to identify and overcome the barriers you might face in moving into work and help you to achieve your potential.
Whilst attending this provision, you may also receive help towards the cost of childcare and travel expenses.
