THE JACOB PROJECT - THIS PROJECT IS NOW CLOSED
The pilot Jacob Project comes to an end on 31st December 2010, at which time the project will be wound up and the contract of one member of staff will end. No new volunteers and befrienders are being recruited, and existing volunteers are nearing the end of their placements.
A report on the success of the pilot project will be produced, along with a “Jacob Tool Kit” which will be available if, as we hope, funding is found to restart Jacob in Scotland in 2011.
The Jacob Reference Group and Glasgow Office will offer any support necessary to enable this to happen, even though the new work will no longer be directly delivered by The Iona Community.
