A project in Scotland, aimed at recruiting young and unemployed men into the childcare sector, has received 50,000 pounds of funding to increase training opportunities.
The Coalfield Trust awarded the money to the Men into Childcare project, which aims to help young and unemployed men in former mining areas in East Ayrshire. The Trust was originally formed in 1999 to help mining communities recover from the impact of pit closures.
