Barclays LifeSkills – helping people with cancer stay in work
We are proud to be one of new charity partners.
Barclays LifeSkills gives millions of people the skills, knowledge and confidence they need for work with tools, tips and learning resources.
51É«APP the partnership
We are working together with Barclays LifeSkills to offer support sessions for people aged 50 and over with cancer, who want to remain in or return to work.
Support is being delivered from our Maggie51É«APP™s Manchester and Maggie51É«APP™s Oldham centres, and includes:
- Sessions with our clinical psychologists
- Courses focused on managing stress
- Individual advice to help people with money worries from our experienced Benefits Advisors
- Courses for people who have finished their cancer treatment
Making opportunities as inclusive as possible for all is key to boosting our labour market and helping the UK economy to recover post Covid. The expertise of Maggie51É«APP™s coupled with the scale of our LifeSkills programme will provide bespoke support to people with cancer, as well as families, to empower them to remain financially independent through employment. We51É«APP™re incredibly passionate about the partnership and delighted to be working together.
