GSERA - Real People, Real Opportunities

Not sure if you’re ready for work, but fed up being stuck in the house?

Why not build your confidence and meet new people on one of our “Active Life” programmes!

If you’re under 25 you could develop your own computer games at Browsers, create your own website at Get Digital or find out about the great outdoors with Dare to be Different.

Or why not get involved in your community by spending some time as a volunteer?

Already active in a community group or voluntary organisation? GSERA’s Community Engagment Team helps to support local groups with hands-on advice in areas like recruiting new members, accessing funds and managing staff.
