Reading a list of projects axed or suspended by the coalition Government, I was struck by a) how many were related to employment, and b) how many were in Sheffield. I'll leave the Sheffield side of things for now (although I love this city almost more than I love London) and turn instead to the loss of the "Two year Jobseeker's Guarantee" worth £515m which aimed to give jobseekers a guaranteed offer of a job, internship, volunteering placement or work experience after two years of being out of work.
Thank goodness employers of all sizes can still offer internships anyway and benefit from the creativity, freshness and dynamism this brings to their business. Envision demonstrated this at a recent business breakfast they hosted for the Good Jobs campaign.

About Me
- Charlotte's web
- London
- People talk about work/life balance as if the two are separate - I firmly believe that work is part of life and should be treated as such. That's why I run a campaign called 'Good Jobs - good for health and good for business', encouraging London employers to make their jobs good. I myself work in a lovely glass building overlooking the Thames called City Hall, home of the Greater London Authority: the job isn't perfect but the choices I'm able to make about my work every day, my supportive manager and the space outside to eat my sandwiches with my friends at lunchtime certainly make my working life worth living.
