A charity which has won a national award for its “micro jobs” scheme has said it is helping people out of poverty.
Zink, based in Buxton, Derbyshire, set up the project in 2016 to provide small, paid roles within the charity and support people who have been out of work for long periods or have never worked at all.
The charity, formerly known as High Peak Food Bank, said 75% of people moved into mainstream employment within six months of starting the scheme.
After winning a Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) award, charity CEO Paul Bohan said: “We’re proud to have created an approach that makes a real difference and supports people to turn their lives around.”
