Your Next Step

Your Next Step is a complete package of support for Coastline customers

Everyone is different, and Your Next Step is designed to make sure that you get the support you need, when you need it, in a way that works for you.

It can help with improving your financial wellbeing, finding opportunities, increasing your skills, and give you lots of useful advice.

Become a volunteer

Coastline’s volunteer scheme enables customers and community members to donate their time across different areas of the organisation, whilst gaining new skills and meeting new people. It’s a great way to share skills and ideas and help local communities to thrive.

As an Investing in Volunteers accredited organisation, we are proud to recognise and appreciate the positive contribution that volunteers make to Coastline customers and communities.

If you have some spare time, and want to make a positive impact in your community, then visit our volunteering page to find out more.

Training

Coastline offers free training opportunities to all our customers, that can help you to develop and build skills for home or work life. Options range from volunteer roles to one-off short courses, plus online courses which can fit in around your schedule.

We work with the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly People Hub to support you on your employment journey. Their Connectors work with you on a 1:1 basis to offer CV writing, interview skills, job search and much more.

Support

We know that there is more to getting a job than having the skills and enthusiasm to work. We can talk to you about other areas of your life that you may feel are preventing you from seeking employment, and can either provide advice ourselves, or link you up with one of our brilliant partner agencies.

Topics we can support include:

money management and debt advice
financial support for any costs to start work through our Sustainability Fund
accessing foodbank vouchers
support with benefit claims and budgeting
childcare provision
health and wellbeing
childcare and caring responsibilities.

We’ve helped hundreds of people access training, volunteering, and gain employment. To find out how Your Next Step could work for you, contact our Community Investment Team now.
