Therese visited Felixstowe Library today as Suffolk Libraries committed to joining the Kickstart Scheme. The government-funded scheme provides funding to employers to create new 6-month job placements for young people who are currently on Universal Credit and at risk of long-term unemployment.

Therese said: "Kickstart is off to a flying start in Felixstowe with Suffolk Libraries getting involved and signing up to be a gateway to help other Suffolk organisations take advantage of the scheme."
