Our Wellbeing and Lifeskills adviser works with people across the whole of the Malvern Hills District, offering personalised help and support to people who have been out of work for a long period of time or who have never been in employment because of health conditions, caring responsibilities or other barriers.
People are supported to find solutions to issues such as housing and debt, connect with training and volunteering opportunities, build confidence and interpersonal skills, help with job applications, CV writing and the interview process, and ultimately to move into employment.
Matt works in and around Malvern Hills district. You’ll find him at various venues like the Malvern Help Centre at Malvern Town FC every Thursday, Tenbury Wells library on alternate Wednesdays and monthly at The Octagon & The Ascension Hall in Malvern and at the Pump Rooms in Tenbury, amongst other places.
Community Drop-ins take place across the district, including some of the more rural areas where services can usually be more difficult to access.

A few years ago I suffered some mental health issues, due to work pressures. I had to leave that job, I was struggling to find reemployment. I contacted Matt [at Building Brighter Futures] who has sessions at Upton Baptist Church and with his help, I started a new job a month ago. The team I work with are very supportive and kind. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Matt for the support and advice
