    “I have been able to get more work with the qualifications I have achieved - such as tree planting and rope splicing;

    As well as increase my own personal development - i.e. gaining my RFS Cert. Arb qualification through the Professional Pathways Scheme.”

    “FFF made a special pathway for me as a service leaver looking to enter the industry. This funding allowed me to complete numerous courses and meet people from all over the industry over the last 12 months.

    I have developed a large network and learned not only what is taught on the course, but also what they do in their varied roles which is invaluable going forward.”

    From our Independent Periodic Evaluation

    FFF helped me to diversify my work into the areas where I now work. This has made my business more sustainable. Alongside this work I’m able to undertake extra tree work of my own, or to sub-contract to other companies. This was very helpful during the autumn and winter months.
