The project benefits local communities by making significant strides in breaking the relentless cycle of poverty. When someone falls into the bracket of homelessness, it can be very difficult for them to regain stability and feel re-established within their community. By providing the infrastructure and supporting workshops to help people gain vital knowledge in IT and employability skills, there are new opportunities to escape homelessness.
Through the enhancements identified, Team 1 is confident the improvements will bring great benefits to the community space, improving accessibility, enhancing skills and increasing the likelihood of employment opportunities and income for service users at Providence Row, both now and in the future.
Furthermore, the teams’ efforts to liaise with Telent’s Marketing team to promote the project deliverables through social media channels and CSR reports will increase Telent’s brand visibility with existing and future customers and colleagues, and raise awareness of Providence Row, helping to secure donations which will be crucial as they expect a greater demand for their services due to the cost-of-living crisis.
