Smethwick

CCF strives to improve the social and economic wellbeing of disadvantaged communities by providing opportunities for people to develop their skills, gain qualifications and improve their health. Set up in 1997, Community Connect Foundation (CCF) has been working in partnership with many private and public sector organisations to improve the social and economic wellbeing of the disadvantaged communities in inner city areas. Through its work, CCF has developed, in effect, into a Community Anchor serving a much wider range of residents, communities and geographical areas. Whilst its base in Smethwick is an important one for its ability to reach out to communities in Smethwick, much of its work is delivered across a larger geographical area. With the help and support of managed funding from a variety of sources, we have been able to provide quality service provisions to more than 8,000 people. A substantial number of these people have gained qualifications and moved on to find employment.It demonstrates our determination to reach out into all sections of our communities to provide essential training opportunities, heath advice and youth development support to those that need it most. The success of CCF relies on the charity’s strong partnerships with statutory providers and community-based organisations. Much of CCF’s work is delivered on an outreach basis throughout Sandwell and Birmingham. Having maintained an accreditation from Matrix Standards & Investors in People (IIP) since 2004, we are confident we deliver a quality assured service consistently which is benchmarked by prestigious national standards. Additionally, we are accredited by prominent awarding bodies such as Pearson, Highfield Qualifications & Ascentis for delivering a wide range of Language skills, Functional Skills, Employability Skills and Apprenticeships qualifications.

With over 25 years of experience in the fields of training and leadership development in both the retail and education sectors I know my stuff. My leadership career began when I worked for a bookshop chain in central London, working my way up to the role of store manager at branches in Baker Street, Earls Court and Holborn at the age of 20. This was followed by a period working as a training manager for Tesco at their first central London store on Oxford Street. My success in this role led to me being seconded to support the opening of Tesco’s flagship store in Kensington, where I helped to lead the recruitment and training of all new staff in preparation for the store’s launch. In 1999 I entered the education sector. I started as a volunteer in a pre-school, then secured a job as a Learning Support Assistant and eventually retrained as a class teacher. In my second year of teaching I took on a curriculum leadership role, which at the time was an unusual move for a new teacher. I’ve spent the last 19 years developing my career and I’m currently the headteacher of a primary school in south London. In 2014 I set up my own publishing company 9:10 Publishing. This was born out of an observation that there were very few books for young black people which were written from a black British perspective. Rather than rely on traditional publishing houses to take up my ideas, I looked into what was required to do it myself. As a result Letters to a Young Generation was born. The first book was aimed at boys and in 2016 I published another edition for girls. Visit the 9:10 Publishing website to find out more. I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Coaching and Mentoring Practice from Oxford Brookes University, where I am also a member of their Coaching and Mentoring Society. I’m a professional member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC). I write regularly for TES and have delivered training as part of Teach First’s NPQ programme.

Established over 25 years ago, Talking Life has established itself as the “go-to” Partner for a large number of clients across the UK and is extremely proud to hold some of the largest training contracts from Local Authorities. Our Training is founded on the principle that Training is a lot more than just delivering a classroom or virtual training session. We can offer training courses across all sectors, whether Social Care, Health or Corporate and our website, which has an easy-to-use search function, enables you to identify potential courses of interest. Whilst we pride ourselves in being able to offer a wide selection of trainers, all experts in their fields of training, we also offer a customer experience that is second to none. Each of our customers has a dedicated Account Manager who will work collaboratively to offer a training experience that meets the behaviours, values and policies of your Business. All of courses are bespoke, as we take our standard outlines and then, with the assistance of the trainers, adapt these courses so they are relevant and are fully agreed prior to any training. We have a dedicated Events Coordination Team who manage all training events in a seamless and proactive manner. Our specially designed Training Client Relationship Management System will process all bookings and issue email confirmations. We can offer a secure Client Booking System so that if you don’t have the resource or technology to undertake this, we can provide you with a dedicated system that will take away the pressure of managing your delegates. After training, we take our evaluation and post-training impact evaluations as an important part of the training experience, and this feedback is shared with both clients and our trainers. Our Account Managers will discuss the training outcomes in their regular client review meetings.
