Jewson Partnership Solutions (JPS) has donated more than £1,000 worth of tools to three apprentices from Wythenshawe, Manchester, to help them kickstart their careers.

Working closely with Toolbank, JPS gifted the products to apprentices at the Wythenshawe Community Housing Group (WCHG), a registered social housing landlord.

The tools were donated through the JPS Social Value Fund, giving the three young people everything they need to get stuck into their roles from day one.

Paul Woodridge, Branch Manager at JPS WCHG Managed Stores, said: "Starting a new career is difficult for young people in this day and age, so I am really happy that JPS and our supply partners, Toolbank, were able to take a worry and cost away by supplying these three deserving apprentices with some tools to support their professional journeys. Best of luck to all of them!"

Adele Duncan, Employment Co-ordinator at WCHG, added: "Our new trade apprentices have been able to hit the ground running with these new tools, so we want to give a massive thanks to JPS and Toolbank for making this happen.”
