After accessing counselling and employment support through Ongo, Sam explored work options that would fit around their health needs. Sam took up a volunteer placement as a Community Connector in Scunthorpe. Now volunteering every Tuesday morning, Sam welcomes visitors, points them towards local support, and is actively applying for retail and customer service jobs.
