Kent is gaining a share of the momentum or surge of job clubs being created in the country - a total of nearly 100. Hextable which started on the 9th February 2011 is probably one of the latest; it must be one of the few situated in a village.
Other Kent job clubs include Ashford, Edenbridge & Oxted, Dartford, Folkestone, Gravesend, Hextable, Sevenoaks and Strood. Swanley started in March 2011. They are all listed in the on-line GB Job Clubs Directory. See the linked pages at: www.gbjobclubs.org/
The Jericho Skills Directory webpage embraces what might become of considerable interest to job club members seeking a loan for their business start-up. In essence upto £2,000 may be forthcoming to members who meet the requirements.
The website is wealthy in information about and for job clubbing. Any wannabe facilitator, coordinatior or leader of a job club cannot better the advice available at this site or from Chris Neal and Jane Gould.
Since starting we are now getting a trickle of referrals from the government's Job Centre Plus and have informal links with other agencies, eg HMRC and HSE. Found a HuffPost Social Network reference which indicated that the US Federal Government values job clubs. See Twitter Jaef2
