Social Enterprise Kent are proud to be the lead delivery organisation for Lots More to Offer; a great project operating across Kent and East Sussex, which aims to bridge the employment, skills and confidence gap for those over the age of 45.

We understand the barriers often faced by those who have become isolated from the work market. But we also know the value those individuals can bring to the workplace once barriers are reduced.

The project provides…

• Personalised 1 to 1 sessions with an Employment Support Adviser,
• Help with motivation and self-confidence,
• Support with identifying the right voluntary and employment opportunities,
• Training in Employability skills, CV writing, Money Management, I.T. and much more,
• Self-employment guidance for those wishing to start-up by themselves,
• An opportunity to meet new people within the community!

• Aged 45 years or over
• Living in East Kent, Swale, Medway or East Sussex,
