Here are a few diary dates to consider getting involved:

  • Cheltenham JCP Jobs Fair 21.02.23 – 10-12.30 (set up from 09.30)
  • Eastgate JCP Jobs Fair 23.02.23 – 10-12 (set up from 09.30)
  • Hands-On Work event Cheltenham JCP Jobs Fair 28.02.23 – 10-12
  • Cheltenham JCP Jobs Fair 21.03.23 – 10-12 (set up from 09.30)
  • Guildhall Jobs Fair 23.03.23 – DWP arranged in conjunction with Richard Graham MP (aimed at job seekers aged 50+, but everyone welcome – 10-2 (set up from 09.30)

See below publicity mailshot from Richard Graham MP about the upcoming 50+ Jobs Fair happening on 23.03.23 – I would love to have some of your members join us to meet talented and experienced people (must have current job vacancies is the only real caveat)

I’m writing to seek your (free of charge) support and involvement at Gloucester’s first ever event aimed to help residents who are over 50 in Gloucester Guildhall on 23rd March.

If you believe  – as I do (biased because I’m one myself!) – that the over 50s can and do contribute masses, whether in work or as volunteers and often leading civic society, then this event is for your organisation.

I’m inspired by the two new over 60s apprentices at ASDA, several volunteers at the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in their 80s and by a trustee of several charities who’s coming up to 90.

My hope is to connect more over 50s with the community, business, charities and others who would employ them or benefit from their help.

The Employment Minister will join us, the DWP will give great support and it will be a great day but it will be your presence that makes it special for all who come – Contact Jo at DWP to confirm that you would like your own or a shared space at our 50PLUS Choices event.  If you are a smaller organisation and unable to send a representative, we will have a notice board so do please let us have some details we can display.

Please book early to avoid disappointment: we only have a maximum of 30 spaces available.

This will be a popular event and fun for everyone – so look forward to see you there.

Best regards

Richard
