Company activities and impact

Building Communities CIC was set up to support disenfranchised groups, especially BAME women, 50yr+ who have very little or no basic key and life skills, do not speak English and are unable to read and write, adapt to new way of life and learning post COVID-19. We have focused on writing bid applications to pilot workshops to bridge skills gap, especially Textiles and linguistic skills to build confidence, tackle isolation exacerbated since Covid-19 Lockdowns. Grant funding has enabled us to continue delivering unaccredited Textiles and PreEntry Literacy workshops to community members who have little or no key skills, speak very little or no English and/or who do not meet eligibility criteria for accredited learning programmes due to residential status. Our programmes continue to tackle isolation, loneliness, reduce anxieties and feelings of exclusion. improve mental health and wellbeing, build confidence. We have been able to identify immediate skill/training needs and demands within communities and help them deal with challenges, circumstantial changes being faced. All our workshops/programmes are delivered in safe and friendly spaces at local community centres. We have kept communities engaged. We have improved community cohesion. We have brought different ethnic groups together. We have shared our vision with community partners who all share in our vision and are signposting identified clients to our workshops.

Consultation with stakeholders

We have communicated with stakeholders through communication: by phone, emails and meetings and all agreed that we should write as many bids as we can to deliver smaller projects to meet community needs and demands. We all agree our focus is to mitigate cultural, language, isolation, loneliness, anxiety and confidence barriers post COVID-19 by focusing on small projects, keeping participants engaged and working towards building partnerships, so we can continue to open pathways to continued accredited learning provisions as a supply chain partner.
