Ingeus, a local employment services provider, recently participated in the launch of the Bury NeighbourHub in Mill Gate Shopping Centre alongside Bury Council on Monday 8th January 2024. The new community hub is designed to create a relaxed atmosphere where locals can go to seek help and advice with a range of issues such as housing, employment, money management, and health.
The hub was opened by the Worshipful the Mayor of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Councillor Sandra Walmsley with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Mayor Walmsley commented on the centre, stating: “ It was an honour and a privilege to officially open the new advice centre. I’m sure it will be a great help to many Bury residents who will welcome a central point, open five days a week, where they can get advice on a wide range of employment and skills support.”
Funded by the Community Investment Fund (CIF), the Bury NeighbourHub is a collaborative project spearheaded by Bury Works, Bury Council, and Ingeus. The employment services provider works alongside residents and employers to create long-lasting employment opportunities. The hub is open Monday to Friday, offering a one-stop-shop of support where Bury residents can access agencies such as Jobcentre Plus, Citizens Advice, National Careers Service, and local health support services.
Additional support services like the new Pioneer Support Programme will also be provided by Ingeus, information on the Working Well Work, and Health Programme.
Locals can also gather, connect and participate in Community Projects while at the Bury Neighbourhub. The launch event for the initiative was attended by representatives from Bury Council, Jobcentre Plus, and other local partners including charities and specialist services.
Councillor Charlotte Morris, Cabinet member for culture and the economy, commented: “This is a great initiative, and an excellent example of the council working with public and private sector partners. Given the current economic climate, it’s so important to support those who have been out of work for a prolonged period back into meaningful employment.”
Nicola Wood, Head of Delivery for Ingeus said: “It was fantastic to see so many people attend the launch event. Our mission is to enable better lives and the NeighbourHub provides us with another avenue to support even more people with finding suitable local employment.”
