"Now I've got a job my life is a lot better, I'm not isolated, I have the chance to get out and meet different people. I feel like someone again. My confidence is a lot better, I'm more positive, I've got more hope."

Dean's Story
Dean* was referred to Grace Enterpises by a local drug and alcohol service – he had maintained recovery for over two years and was keen to get back to work. He’d been unemployed for years and believed no-one would ever employ him again due to his background.
Dean has gone from strength to strength at Radiant Cleaners, increasing his hours and gaining additional work alongside his cleaning. He has continued working with us for two years despite having some significant health issues.
“I hate to think what my life would have been like for the last two years without this job! It's not about the money or the hours. When someone asks me "What do you do?” I can say "I work, I'm a cleaner" instead of having nothing to say."
Dean has seen his relationships, autonomy and purpose improve since starting work. He decided to begin meeting with a mentor which has already improved his confidence and is helping him to overcome some social anxiety.
