DEESIDE-BASED scaffolding and industrial services firm NSG UK has given a youth club a £5,000 cash lift.
The donation to Shrewsbury House Youth Club in Everton, Merseyside, is to mark the milestone of one million hours of accident-free work time at the Ineos ChlorVinyls site in Runcorn, one NSG’s clients.
NSG UK is involved in a training and apprenticeship scheme with the club which sees youths offered a free 12-week placement, after which they are able to seek work within the industry.
Two members have completed the course and both have been given full-time employment with NSG UK.
NSG UK supervisor Damien Cummings, a former member of the youth club, said: “This scheme is something I have always wanted to see set up.
“It is great to put something back into the club which gave me and a lot of others a start in life – a scheme whereby youngsters of today are able to get into constructive work.
“It is hard enough for these young people to prove that they have the skills and energy to make their way in life, and this scheme is giving them that chance.”
NSG UK managing director Mike Carr added: “We are delighted to be able to give this donation to a charity which does a lot of good work with young people who are struggling to find employment.
“NSG UK is committed to taking on and developing young talented people and this scheme is a great example.”
A spokesman for the youth club said: “We are grateful to NSG.
“This is excellent support and we will be putting all of the money into a range of services aimed at tackling the current crisis of youth unemployment.”
