JPS donates tools to Manchester apprentices
Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS) has donated more than £1,000 worth of tools to three apprentices in Wythenshawe, Manchester, to help them kickstart their careers.
Working closely with Toolbank, JPS gifted the products to apprentices at the Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG), a registered social housing landlord.
The tools were donated through the JPS Social Value Fund, giving the three new apprentices everything they need to get stuck into their roles from day one.
Paul Woodridge, branch manager at JPS WCHG Managed Stores, said: “Starting a new career is difficult for young people in this day and age, so I am really happy that JPS and our supply partners, Toolbank, were able to take a worry and cost away.”
