Tenant Empowerment & Employability Event – Working Together for Brighter Futures
In partnership with Ferguslie Park Housing Association, we were pleased to host a Tenant Empowerment & Employability Event at Paisley Methodist Church Halls — a day dedicated to connecting tenants with training, support, and opportunities to help them move closer to employment or further education.
While attendance on the day was lower than we had hoped, the event was still a valuable and positive experience for those who came along. Tenants who attended were able to access tailored, one-to-one support from a fantastic range of partner organisations — and the feedback received was incredibly encouraging.
We were proud to welcome an excellent line-up of partners, including:
-
Skills Development Scotland – offering expert careers advice and support with skills development.
-
Job Centre Plus and DWP – providing guidance on benefits, employment programmes, and job-seeking tools.
-
Invest in Renfrewshire – sharing insights into local training schemes and employability services.
-
Engage Renfrewshire – promoting volunteering and third-sector opportunities in the area.
-
West College Scotland – highlighting accessible learning and training pathways across a range of industries.
Despite the quiet numbers, there were fantastic conversations, useful signposting, and real connections made — which is what these events are all about. For those who attended, it provided a chance to explore options, ask questions in a relaxed environment, and take away resources and contacts for the future.
We’re hugely grateful to all the partner organisations who gave up their time to support our tenants and to Ferguslie Park Housing Association for working with us to deliver the event. This experience has helped us shape future outreach efforts, and we remain committed to creating opportunities that empower and uplift our communities.
Stay tuned for more events to come — and if you missed this one but are interested in support around training, jobs, or further education, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
