The Building Futures programme is back on Thursday 19 September from 10am to 12.30pm at Ti Chulainn, Mullaghbawn and organisers would love women in South Armagh, Newry & surrounds to join them for a relaxed, informative and inspiring morning, to find out more about what Building Futures have to offer you!
The Building Futures team are made up of the women from Bolster Community, Women’s Tec and Women in Business!
Come and learn about what they have to offer and gear from women who have already participated in the programme earlier this year! Whether you like the sound of a little self development, mentoring or any of the other courses on offer, you will hopefully find something that will give you a fresh start this year.
The event is for women who are 18+, currently not working and residing in Newry, Mourne & Down. Please reserve your place for this event by contacting Justina for a chat at Bolster Community on 028 3083 5764 or email justina@bolstercommunity.org
Building Futures is a programme designed by women, for women who are looking at a fresh start and want to eventually return to employment. They have courses running throughout Newry, Mourne & Down over the coming months, starting September.
Aine‘s story
“Having recently retired from a permanent teaching job of 32 years and feeling that I had no future, Bolster and in particular, the Building Futures programme, opened up a new way of life for me...Through these programmes, I have got a joy of life back - there is a whole new world out there for me, not just the caring role for my gorgeous son who has a learning disability. I matter, and I have a role to play in my future. Bring on the next programme!”
