Using case studies is not only one of the most effective ways of demonstrating the success of the scheme, but also is a great way to encourage employers and organisations to submit a vacancy to the FJF. It could also mean possible media coverage for your organisation. If you have any photographs that you wish to submit, please do so with signed consent from any one pictured.

Employers quotes:

"FJF has been mutually beneficial - We have been able to suport the FJF participants whilst they have certainly contributed to and enhanced the work of our organisation"

SCVS - March 2010

"FJF has added tremendously to our capacity to do the things we should be doing but which we don't have the funding or staffing resourses to do. This time of year is our busiest and having their contribution at this time has been very valuable."

CAB - March 2010

"Play Right has found the FJF and excellent scheme and has enabled a person to fulfil a role that may not have been able to fulfil through an ordinary application. It has also demonstrated the quality of candidate that has come through the fund."

Play Right - April 2010

Employee quotes:

" The experience so far has been excellent. It has given me a desire to want more for my life and has made me want to remain in employment"

" I am so grateful to SCVS for giving me a chance, I have learnt so much that I did not know I was capable of doing"

"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time so far; it has really been a learning curve and has opened my eyes to the world of social policy which is a core part of the Citizens Advice Bureau."

"The Future Jobs Fund has been great and it has given me an opportunity to get into work and I didn't like not having a job. It has enabled me to grow my confidence and I am really happy to be moving on and up with my employment"

"Amazing, don't want it to end!"

"Tidy"
