Kleeneze had a great piece of publicity in January 2009, starring on ITV Meridian (South East) news! Everyone has a huge interest in our slumping economy and rising house repossessions alongside redundancy levels; so when ITV Meridian (South East) news decided to do a feature on alternative ways to make an income, Kleeneze was the natural choice! |
Funding for the Unemployed |
Each
Job Centre Plus
around the UK has a little-known 'Advisor Discretion Fund' which
can provide jobseekers with a grant of up to £300 in any
12-month period, to help cover the costs of transport,
childcare, work clothes, tools and more (during the job search
or to enable an offer of employment to be accepted) if an
advisor believes it'll make the transition back into work
easier. The cash can be requested for any reasonable expense yet no one has a right to the money and it’s completely at the discretion of each JCP advisor. Previously the grants have only been available to people who have been unemployed for six months or more; but now everyone claiming Job Seekers Allowance, or on one of the New Deal schemes, is eligible from day one. For 2009/10 over £23 million has been set aside to cover the fund so if you think it’ll help you, speak to an advisor at your local Job Centre Plus. |
