Our Social Values
Alongside our commitment to our learners and partners, we recognise our responsibilities and obligations to the wider community:
Driving Engagement: We support dozens of local and regional events every year. Our participation creates opportunities for disadvantaged groups to improve their well-being, learn new skills and find work or training.
Challenging Inequality: From our commitment to a real living wage to offering work experience opportunities to Year 10 students, we work hard to reduce inequalities in our society.
Providing Opportunities for Everyone: We recognise the unique challenges individuals face and we adapt our training accordingly. We’re currently working with Ukrainian women displaced by war.
Fundraising: Our staff and learners organise charity events to improve our community. Most recently, we have raised funds to purchase a Defibrillator.
Passion: For over 30 years we have developed programmes, initiatives, courses and enterprises which serve the needs and ambitions of our learners.
Reducing our Environmental Impact: Alongside offering a dedicated transport service to clients who need it, we are members of Carbon Neutral Britain to offset our carbon footprint.
Supporting Mental Health: As signatories to the Mindful Employer Charter we are committed to a positive and pro-active approach to the mental well-being of our staff. All of our learners are offered a range of health and well-being sessions. Our health and well-being team are qualified Mental Health First Responders.
Empowering our Community: We support community interest groups such as CiC Willaston Community Farm. By investing in their outdoor team building activities we also support our learners health and well-being.
Innovating at Every Step: Our learners can take advantage of unique initiatives, including a high street salon, pantry, laundry service and minibus pick up. Because we always go the extra mile.
