A Fresh Start: How LAES Helped One Client Rebuild Her Future

At LAES, we see firsthand how the right support can help individuals overcome barriers and regain stability. A young woman came to us in a difficult situation; Amy was homeless, couch-surfing at a friend’s house, and feeling stuck despite being well-educated.

Her LAES caseworker, John, took the time to understand her challenges and helped rebuild her confidence. Together, they identified an employment scheme that matched her skills, an administrative role with the local Men’s Development Network. John refined her CV, conducted mock interviews, and coached Amy to present herself professionally at interview.

Her preparation paid off and she secured the role and quickly became a valued team member. The job gave her renewed purpose, and with her manager’s support, she found stable housing.

This success story highlights the life-changing impact of employment schemes and guidance. With John’s help, Amy is now on the path to long-term stability, proving that a fresh start is always possible.

“Being accepted into the Mens Development Network has helped to give me my confidence back, stabilise a rough time in my life and given me the opportunity and drive to up-skill.” – Amy, LAES client
