Thurrock Council, GB supports homeless residents on path to employment with Beam crowdfunding pilot

Thurrock Council, GB Beam Homeless Employment Pilot

Thirty homeless and housing-insecure residents are paired with caseworkers during the pilot. Each partnership leads to training on skills sought by employers at the Thames Freeport in Thurrock. Participants raise money for the costs of interview clothing, travel, childcare, and other necessities on Beam fundraising pages. Community members support their neighbors with as little as £1 along with notes of encouragement.
