Kindness is at the heart of everything we do.
At Employability Durham, kindness isn’t just a value—it’s a practice. 💛

Every day, our team works across County Durham to support residents who are unemployed, economically inactive, or facing barriers to work. 🚶‍♀️🏘️

We meet people where they are—whether that’s in a local café, community centre, or through a phone call —offering tailored, one-to-one guidance that respects each person’s journey. 🌈

This World Kindness Day, we’re celebrating the power of compassionate support:
• 📝 A personalised action plan that helps someone rediscover their strengths
• 🤝 A quiet conversation that builds confidence and trust
• 📍 A local meeting that brings opportunity closer to home

💬 “Kindness is contagious—and in our work, it’s transformative.”
💫 Let’s keep spreading it.
