LEAP, the Good Shepherd project providing people with lived experience of homelessness and other issues, with volunteering and training opportunities, benefits greatly from building partnerships.
One of those which has been particularly valuable during 2023 has been with the Wolverhampton Individual Placement and Support (IPS) team at Black Country NHS Healthcare Foundation Trust.
Their work is based around helping people move back into employment, and so fits perfectly within the LEAP ethos.
Akram is one of our LEAP volunteers who is benefitting from this link-up and in this video, he chats to Georgie from Wolverhampton IPS, about his journey so far.
