Salvation Army helped Simon Evans get back to work
Simon Evans, 49, from Wrexham, praised The Salvation Army's Employment Plus team for their support during his search for work.
In gratitude, he will now volunteer at the charity's upcoming Employability Day event in Wrexham.
Mr Evans said: "My life changed.
"They listened.
"They empathised.
"They understood.
"You can't put a monetary value on being able to change somebody's life for the better.
"Now it's important to me that I give something back to others."
The Salvation Army is hosting drop-in events across Wales this week to mark Employability Day, including sessions in Wrexham, Aberystwyth, and Carmarthen.
Jobseekers will be able to access employment advice, training opportunities, volunteering information, and meet with potential employers.
Abi Gardner, assistant regional manager for The Salvation Army's Employment Plus service in Wales, said: "We work with people across Wales who are desperate to work but who face the biggest barriers to getting employment, such as physical and mental ill-health or a lack of relevant skills, education or affordable childcare."
The Employment Plus service is delivered in 247 Salvation Army churches, centres and hostels.
