Dina’s success story.

Dina Flores Avelar was referred to our Multiply numeracy course to complement the support she was receiving as part of the Restart programme in our Crawley office. As English wasn’t her first language Dina wanted support to boost her maths skills and confidence and to improve her English-speaking skills to help her find employment.

Sharon Marie Brown and Edgar Muzvidzwa, Get Set UK Multiply Tutors worked closely with Dina to address her barriers to employment and created a personalised support plan which allowed Dina to move at her own pace. Whilst on the Multiply programme, where Dina completed two numeracy courses ‘Basic Maths’ and ‘Money Management’, Edgar and Sharon discussed several employment and self-employment options with Dina, one of which was to volunteer at the Citizens Advice Bureau.

With Edgar and Sharon’s support, Dina contacted the Citizens Advice Bureau to join them as a volunteer. This will allow her to gain valuable work experience, boost her confidence and upskill within a new industry of her choice.
