Well done to local charity Timesavers who have just been awarded £10,000 from the Big Lottery Fund.

Timesavers was set up by a group of parents who were concerned about the lack of paid jobs or work experience placements in administration for people with moderate learning difficulties in West Lancashire. The grant will fund sessional workers, travel and office materials.

Edward McCarthy, Trustee and Secretary of Timesavers, says “Our charity aims to help overcome barriers to employability by supporting people to gain further skills and work experience in all aspects of office work such as using computers, photocopying, filing and improving their communication skills.
