Motiv8 Project is funded through Reaching Communities of the Big Lottery Fund.

It is aimed at motivating women of working age to help and encourage them to get involved in volunteering and employment.

The project is designed with eight modules taking into account the journey each beneficiary has to take in making themselves more employable.

“It is not hard to remain motivated when you have so many other difficulties in your life” – Mrs G.

The Motiv8 Project offers informal learning along with practical and meaningful opportunities to gain hands on experience. We use a combination of classroom, field work and agency visits and placements to ensure that the participants gain the maximum benefit.

Project participants have visited local employers to see what vacancies exist and find out what they can do to make themselves more employable.

For many or the participants it is difficult to even begin to understand about paid or unpaid work.

Many of the participants have never worked in their lives.

“I have found the Motiv8 Programme really helpful to me I am looking at voluntary work” – Mrs T.

Motiv8 is a two year project, we have successfully completed the first year in May 2008. Our Project Officer Helen Atherton approved our first year progress and said “I wish you the best of luck with the final year of your project.”
