Arcswood CIC

Arcswood is a social enterprise providing Training Courses and Grounds & Woodland Maintenance Services in Pembrokeshire, based at the Rural Skills Training Centre, Pembroke School. We are a registered Community Interest Company with a passion to ensure that young people and adults in our community do not become disadvantaged by a lack of volunteering, work experience and training opportunities. Our aim is to support young people and adults of all abilities, including those with additional learning needs. To achieve this aim we have developed three innovative methods of support: 1. Combining volunteering, work experience and assisted employment with a successful high quality grounds and woodlands maintenance service. This ensures participants gain valuable experience in a real workplace environment. 2. Developing community conservation projects to enable volunteers from the local area to learn conservation skills, work towards benefiting the community and benefiting the community and building an ethos of volunteering. 3. Providing nationally recognised work related land based training . Arcswood CIC is a registered training centre for Lantra Awards. This ensures participants gain the skills, experience and qualifications necessary to improve their chances of gaining employment or progressing to further training.
