"I was really impressed by the candidates who came along to this first training session," said Operations Director Amanda Meanwell
"They all knew what a difference getting a job would make to their lives and were determined to do whatever they could to increase their chances."
Jeff Mitchell, Managing Director of Clean Slate said: "At grass roots, we employ long-term unemployed people who want to get into work but have lost their confidence and don't know where to start.
"Our workers are keen to start employment and to build a future for themselves. We simply offer structured, practical, inspiring opportunities to make this happen."
