Just a quick update on how things are here at WATCH and The Hillz.
It would appear that a lot of people are thinking that WATCH is permanently closed. This is a complete misconception, as those of you who regularly tune into the Hillz on 98.6fm will know.
It’s true that the doors are shut for general enquiries and employment related advice but t here are still things going on here. For instance, on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 10 and 1, we have basic IT courses, delivered on behalf of UK Online. These are great for those who need to start from the beginning or who need additional support to progress their knowledge. On Tuesdays, from 10-4, Imani are running their sewing sessions and anyone, whatever skill level they are, are welcome to come along.
We also have someone manning the phones throughout the week, so if you need to contact us, someone will be there to take your call
Alongside all this, the Trustees and volunteers are working to identify and secure alternative sources of funding so that WATCH and The Hillz are able to deliver services that you want and need, such as employment and training. Just because you may not always see activity, it doesn’t mean that it is not happening – believe me, people are working away feverishly behind the scenes.
On a final note, we are still looking for more advertisers and sponsors for the radio, so if you are, or know, local businesses who would benefit from this, please ask them to get in touch with Mandy or Kate.
