Thames Reach’s Moving In Moving On (MIMO) painting and decorating training scheme for formerly homeless people has been ‘highly commended’ in the prestigious Charity Awards 2010.
MIMO was shortlisted in the education and training category of the awards which aim to acknowledge excellence across a range of criteria including leadership, innovation and effectiveness.
The course helps people who have experienced homelessness to develop new skills, boost their self-confidence and learn about working as part of a team.
Thames Reach’s learning and employment service manager Vicky Mansell said: “We are delighted that Moving In Moving On has been highly commended by the Charity Awards. Such recognition reflects how the project continues to be such an important tool in supporting formerly homeless and vulnerable people to engage in learning, take the first steps to getting back into work and to lead a more fulfilling life."
