Accelerate

Starfish were really pleased to work as a partner on Accelerate providing Mental Wellbeing support for Accelerate participants in Coventry and Warwickshire from 2019 – 2021.

Accelerate was a partnership of local organisations providing co-ordinated employment support to people who are at a disadvantage when looking for work. It was a free support service that improved skills and provided training and work experience.
