Derek, a Working Denbighshire participant, was referred to the initiative through the Job Centre a few years ago. With the help of the Working Denbighshire team and a volunteering placement at St Kentigern’s Warehouse, Derek has made significant strides in his personal and professional development. Reflecting on his journey, Derek said: "At one point, I was extremely shy, with bad anxiety and no confidence. "I never thought I’d get to where I am now, but with support from Working Denbighshire and through volunteering, I’ve overcome so many barriers. Through mentoring, volunteering opportunities, and skills development, the service helps individuals build confidence and move closer to their career goals.
