Bracknell

Bracknell People who want to make a new start for the new year are invited to a special exhibition designed to give them information about learning new skills or getting back into work.

New Year, New Start has been organised by Bracknell Forest Council’s children’s centres, and takes place in the Forest Suite at Bracknell Leisure Centre on Thursday, January 29, from 10am until 2.30pm.

It is designed for families who are finding money is becoming tight; parents whose children have started school; and people who want to develop their skills, have been made redundant or are thinking about doing something different.

Exhibitors include Bracknell Jobcentre Plus and support agency A4e, training and education providers such as Bracknell and Wokingham College and learndirect, and family support like the Council’s early years, childcare and play team, children’s centres and the family information centre.

There are also workshops covering self-employment, working in the care sector or with children, financial support, and personal presentation and confidence. Activities are also provided to keep children occupied while their parents look round.

Cllr Gareth Barnard, Executive Member for Bracknell Children’s Services, said: "This exhibition is designed to help people develop more skills or get back to work.
