Alison has been on disability benefit for a number of years and really struggles with low mood, self-esteem and confidence issues. Alison agreed that due to her unhealthy lifestyle and old habits, it would be a good idea to work on improving the way she looks and more importantly, feels. Alison has since joined the gym ‘Curves’ and has lost a staggering 2 stone in 12 weeks! This has made a huge difference to Alison, and improved her confidence and self-esteem greatly, giving Alison a new found motivation and ‘can do attitude’. Alison has since benefited from a number of interviews and feels able to conduct herself better and in a more positive light to prospective employers.

58-year-old Denis McCrudden, has finally broken a five year cycle of unemployment, depression and anxiety thanks to a new job at the recently- opened Co-operative food store in the town. Denis is one of 10 previously unemployed new recruits at the store in the Links Shopping Centre, which joined forces with Ingeus in Musselburgh to recruit local, long-term unemployed people for some of its vacancies. Ex-miner Denis previously feared his working life was over after redundancy and personal problems left him with depression and a total lack of confidence. However, after working with specialist Employment and Health Advisors at Ingeus, he is now a familiar and friendly face at the store, where his role selling lottery tickets, phone top-ups and newspapers in the kiosk has quickly progressed to a permanent role with increased hours. “I was determined to get my life back on track but was frightened to even attend the Ingeus meetings at first,” explains Denis. “I was soon given support with stress management and assertiveness and met people in similar situations to me. Gradually I found the confidence to apply for jobs and when my Employment Advisor suggested The Co-operative vacancy I gave it my best shot.” Despite not having any retail experience, The Co-operative clearly recognised Denis’s abilities and gave him his much-wished-for chance. “I genuinely look forward to going into work now and can’t believe how much more happy and confident I feel”
