Daisys Wearing Shoes

Kerry Wearing: Jobcentre who suggested I went on a New Deal scheme for lone parents. My life’s really busy now. When I was working before it was just a job, whereas now I’m building a career for myself, I’m building a future for my children and, most of all, I’m in control of my own destiny.

Well, you gain so many skills, um, I mean I’m doing things now that I didn’t even think that I’d be capable of doing, but I’ve had the support all along the way as well, so I’ve never been left by myself to do, you know, to sort things out myself. The support’s been there throughout.

I went on accountancy courses, marketing courses, and these are all very helpful skills that you need when building your own business.
