June 5th, 2025

We’re thrilled to announce that Westwood Recruitment are donating a phenomenal £23,100 to fund a permanent work readiness offer for GMYN’s young people over the next 12 months.

This game-changing support means we can provide consistent, high-quality work readiness opportunities that help young people build confidence, develop new skills and maintain momentum in their employment.

Westwood Recruitment has already made significant contributions to GMYN as sponsors of the GMYN Westwood Cup and as match funders for our Big Give Christmas Challenge. This new partnership takes their support to an exciting new level.

Chris Couser, Managing Director at Westwood Recruitment Group, said: “At Westwood Recruitment, we believe in creating real opportunities for young people to thrive.

“Partnering with GMYN to fund a permanent work readiness offer is an incredible step towards ensuring that every young person has the skills, confidence, and support they need to succeed in employment. We’re proud to invest in their futures and can’t wait to see the impact this programme will have over the next 12 months and beyond.”

Our CEO Alex Fairweather added: “This funding is critical to our work readiness provision and will have a huge impact on the young people we support. We’re beyond grateful to everyone at Westwood Recruitment for believing in the potential of our young people and investing in their futures.”

A massive thank you to Westwood Recruitment for their commitment to GMYN!
