What our clients say…
‘I have a lot of self-worth now; if I compare myself to a year ago I have come so far with my small goals and my confidence has grown.
It might sound OTT but Learn2Earn has changed my life. My next goal is to build up my skills to go part-time and then on to full-time employment. I highly recommend Learn2Earn if you are unemployed, many doors can open’.

Homeless charity Restart, which offers drop-in, employability and mentoring services, is looking for a partner. Restart offers a volunteer pool, mentoring training and management system and a unique employability service which matches clients to a diverse range of host partners to build key personal and professional skills. Restart has 10 years’ experience in the area.
The ideal partner would be an organisation who have a new or existing space to offer a drop-in and meals to homeless clients as a way to introduce rehabilitation programmes. Restart would welcome their partner’s resources to complement their own work and they must share their values of inclusion, commitment, collaboration and co-production. They have been primarily working in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea but their links would be ideal for anywhere in Central or West London.
If this could be you, please contact Nick Gandon on 07799 477758 or nick.gandon@aureus-sv.com . Read and watch more at www.restartlives.org

These coding course start in September. We have decided to extend the catchment to include those living, working and studying in North Kensington, plus any individuals who live slightly outside North Kensington but are interested in the course (applications will be considered on a case by case basis). We have also extended the deadline for applying to the course to 17th August. Hopefully this will encourage a wider group to attend the taster session and consider applying for the course. I would be very grateful if you could pass this information on to anyone you think might be interested.
As usual we are holding the taster sessions Monday at the ClementJames Centre at 6.30pm.
