NWTP runs an advice and support center in the Rath Mor Center in Derry delivering support under our Community Support Initiative funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. Our Advice & Support Centre mainly caters for people becoming self-employed and people sustaining their self-employment. We also assist groups setting up social economy
enterprises. We offer hope, advice, help and a plan to people who are unemployed and want to be self-employed. We offer self-employment support services, advice and technical support to people trying to sustain their self-employment. We offer support to people developing ideas for employment. We also offer people the opportunity to volunteer within our community through our Community First Responder scheme, Heart of Foyle CFR and the Taxi Watch programme. Before becoming an active volunteer, people will be trained and given equipment to use in their role. The Community First Responder Scheme works in conjunction with NIAS (Northern Ireland Ambulance Service) and responds to 999 calls on certain collapse codes that taxi drivers are trained for. They are equipped with a defibrillator and first aid bag. Taxi Watch is a suicide awareness programme that allows taxi drivers to spot a potential suicide victim and respond. They are also trained to respond with a throwline if people go into the river. They are equipped with a throwline to carry in the vehicle once trained.
