Môn CF, a community organisation offering employment, business support and training to local residents of Anglesey and Gwynedd, has announced that it will be closing its Gwynedd offices with effect from January 2023.
The offices at Dean Street in Bangor and Pool Street, Caernarfon, opened in 2021, specifically to provide support for Gwynedd residents utilising European funding. With European Funding now coming to an end they have no alternative but to cease their operation in these two locations.
A statement on the Môn CF website said: “We would like to thank all our valued clients in Gwynedd for trusting Môn CF to assist them with their endeavours.
“Môn CF’s service will continue on the Isle of Anglesey with our employment, business support and training teams still maintaining a high level of assistance for those in business, those wishing to become self-employed and individuals looking for work or improved career circumstances.
“As our time in Gwynedd comes to an end, we want to reflect and celebrate the success of the people we have had the pleasure of working with. Since we opened our Bangor and Caernarfon offices in February 2021, we have worked with over 400 people, 75% of them on our European Social Funded (ESF) Active Inclusion project and 25% of these on our ESF In-Work project.
“With the support of our in-house training team, 127 clients have gained a range of accredited qualifications. We have created over 200 CVs and helped over 240 people to improve their labour market situation.
“We have worked with over 200 businesses, supporting them to recruit staff which often happened via bespoke jobs fairs, and we funded a number of supported-salary work placements. 47 individuals were placed in Gwynedd-based enterprises and over 80% of these individuals secured permanent employment with these businesses.”
