Provide funding for Grove Training to stay open and support our learners

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Grove Training is closing because our funding has been cut by our prime contractor who has overspent.
We deliver pre-employment training to the unemployed.
Learners are at the heart of everything we do and we take pride in supporting some of the most vulnerable people.
Grove Training has an excellent track record for working with hard to reach learners and we deliver good quality training for the unemployed. quote from JCP advisor “Grove Training provides some of the best provision in the area especially for our clientele. Although there are other providers for the mainstream we feel there will be a massive void in suitable provision for the harder to place clientele.”
