ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

We deliver a remote self-employment service to people with convictions which includes 12 months unlimited support. We are looking to focus more on those who are looking to enter the construction industry and who have to become sole traders to work under CIS regulations. To support this cohort, we would like to offer them all a £100 PPE voucher that they can use prior to their first day on site so that they have the necessary equipment that they will need.
