Ingeus welcomed Bury residents to the Pathways to Work event held at the Bury Neighbourhub in Mill Gate Shopping Centre on Thursday 31st July.
In partnership with Ingeus, Bury Council and Bury Works, the event was hosted by James Frith, MP for Bury North, who met with jobseekers and highlighted the importance of accessible employment services in the community.
The drop-in session brought together a range of regional service providers to offer free, accessible advice on employment, training, benefits, housing, wellbeing, and more.
Ingeus was joined by partner organisations, which included Bury Live Well, The Growth Company – IPS/Work Well, Bury Adult Learning, Citizens Advice, and Smart Works to help attendees with a wide range of work-related issues - from job searching and career planning to returning to work after illness or navigating workplace challenges.
“It’s great to see organisations like Ingeus, Bury Council, and Bury Works coming together to support local people in such a practical and accessible way,” said Mr. Frith. “The Neighbourhub is a brilliant example of how we can bring support and opportunity right into the heart of the community.”
“Work should offer dignity, purpose, and the means to build a better life. This initiative helps ensure more people can take that vital first step towards employment, security, and a brighter, more prosperous future.”
Rebecca Kerr, Performance and Delivery Manager at Ingeus, said:
“We’re proud to run the Bury Neighbourhub where our team is on hand to offer tailored support to anyone looking to take the next step in their employment journey. Collaborating with Bury Council and Bury Works allows us to provide a truly joined-up service that meets the needs of our community.”
Cllr Charlotte Morris, cabinet member for culture and the economy, said:
“Good work is the foundation of a happy life. Ensuring that people living across Bury can access employment is a key priority for us. Events like this demonstrate the power of partnership working and our shared commitment to improving opportunities for people across our six towns.”
The event reflects Ingeus’ ongoing commitment to working with community partners to support local people, helping them build brighter futures by providing access to employment support and other services.
