With £87 million being hacked away from the Council's budget and mass redundancies we NEED resources like this to help people find alternative employment.

Plus, many users, such as black and ethnic minority people, already suffer disadvantage compared in the jobs market compared to others. Has there been any equal opportunities impact study on this proposed closure?

I met and taught ICT skills for inexperienced clients or who those who simply quickly needed to update their skills to find a job. To see my clients come in looking nervous about returning back to work and leaving with confidence for a brighter future. It was the best thing that could happen for Lewisham Residents. I myself was one of those people who benefited from Opening Doors before I worked there.

Staff at Opening Doors have accumulated many years of valuable experience and it would be very hard to replace them once gone.

Any one who has been unemployed knows the value of these centers in providing practical (and psychological) help.

Lewisham is a borough in which 40 per cent of the working population work for the local authority. The least that can be done is when this deluge of joblessness strikes is to make funding a project like this a priority.
