Kick Start Scheme for young people from our member Andrew Waite.

 Kick Start Scheme for young people from our member Andrew Waite.

 Hi Jean-Francois,

 

Hope you are well…

This is Andrew a Gay Professional Network member for some years now.

 

My organisation is a “Gateway Intermediary” for the Government’s new kick Start Scheme to provide young people whose salaries are paid for 6 months at minimum wage.

Would it be possible to pass the information around to the gay business community please?

 

It seems such a great opportunity to keep businesses going and helping young people stay in work.

Anyone interested must have a business or charity.

 

If you or organisations you know wish to take part, you/they can register interest at:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeExMNBVkgn39yTAeUMBjdGqbAEN6Z3kpNdOiNXJTLp-uIVHg/viewform?usp=sf_link

 

Very much appreciate if you could spread the word amongst members.

 

Kind regards,

Andrew Waite

HRH Prince Frederick von Lauenberg and Franz von Habsburg will talk about "Margery Booth" on Thursday 14th May at 5:30pm


Join us to continue celebrating Victory in Europe on Thursday 14th May at 5:30pm on line via Zoom.


"Hitler’s favourite opera star is a British spy! Margery sings for his birthday at the Berghof, hears about the new Tiger tank and realises how urgent it is to get this information to Churchill whilst being shadowed by an SS thug. Margery also conceals escaped British airmen in her luxury Berlin apartment and meets MI6 agent John Brown in Stalag IIID when singing to the PoWs. John also obtains the location of a tank factory before facing torture."
