Adam went to the HUGO centre to improve his job skills and CV and the experience he gained enabled him to get a permanent job.

The name HUGO stands for ‘Helping U Get On’ and during 2014/15, the centre has helped 274 people. It has helped them get on and find employment, develop their skills and confidence through GOALS, get online and use the internet and, learn to speak English at ESOL classes.
