Porchlight Event 2014
Logic PM supported Porchlight’s 40th anniversary event held in Canterbury in November, which led to a number of pledges of financial and other assistance to help some of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Porchlight provides support to homeless and vulnerable people in Kent and Sussex and in addition to marking four decades of practical, hands on support the charity also took the opportunity to launch their new Employability Sponsor Scheme.
Kent businesses including Holiday Extras, Mount Ephraim Gardens and Pfizer pledged their support for the scheme, which aims to help people gain the skills and confidence to enter the workplace and ultimately break the cycle of homelessness.
Joanne Spiteri, Corporate Partnerships Manager for Porchlight, said: “Since April, Porchlight has helped 44 people in Kent and Croydon get paid work and 77 others access volunteering and work placements. This new scheme is all about building on that success and we’re appealing for more sponsors to sign up and help us change people’s lives by supporting them on their journey back to work.”
