On Friday, 25 June 2010, I visited the Glasgow North ESF employability project in Maryhill. I was very impressed with the training project for people who have experienced mental ill health. The project offers various opportunities for people to build their confidence and self esteem, learn new skills and gain work experience. The service is supported by the Department of Work and Pensions, the European Social Fund, SAMH and the NHS. These services are vital and offer real support for local people. I am concerned that changes might be proposed as part of the Tory Lib Dem plans for welfare reform that could cut support to services such as this. These services are vital for many vulnerable people and offer a real opportunity for people to access training and employment. - Click here to visit the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH) website
