West Wales Business Awards 2021

M&D Care are proud sponsors of this year’s West Wales Business Awards. We feel, now more than ever before, that it is important to join together and celebrate the successes of businesses within the local community. As last year’s overall winners of the West Wales Business of the Year and Training and Development award, we understand the value and importance these awards can bring. The recognition has helped us in the pursuit of becoming the employer of choice within the local community and our aim to be recognised as the service provider who offers outstanding quality provision for the most vulnerable within our communities.

Kickstart Scheme 2021

Today we welcome the first of many placements as part of the Kickstart Scheme here at M&D Care. This is a fantastic opportunity that we are really proud to be involved in.

The Kickstart Scheme is a fund set up by the government, as part of the ‘Plan for Jobs’ to create hundreds of thousands of high quality 6-month job placements for young people. This scheme can help support young people to develop new skills and to help them move into sustained employment after they have completed their funded job.

Jobs from the Kickstart Scheme are open to 16-24 year olds, who are claiming Universal Credit, and are at risk of long term unemployment. If you have a work coach they will talk to you about the Kickstart Scheme and whether it’s right for you.

If you think you are currently at risk of long-term unemployment get the experience you need, then click here for more information.

International Women’s Day 2021

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.

IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. Today, IWD belongs to all groups collectively everywhere. 

We would like to share with you some of the faces of the women here at M&D Care, and take a moment to thank them for all that they do and for everything they have achieved.
