Jobs workshops are being held in 10 venues across the East End in a bid to tackle unemployment.

Housing association Tower Hamlets Homes has teamed up with Tower Hamlets Credit Union and several community groups to stage the surgeries.

They will be running at a number of venues between August and December, offering people who are out of work advice on employment schemes and training available to them, and information about job and apprenticeship vacancies.

Residents of areas including Bethnal Green, Shadwell, Bow and Stepney are invited to get involved.
