Social Inclusion Programme


Our Social inclusion programmes are aimed at tackling:

  • Unemployment
  • Underachievement
  • Anti-social behaviour
  • Youth Crime and Gang Culture
  • Disengagement

Our Social Inclusion Programmes aim to improve the lives of some of the hardest to help members of our society. Courses focus on reducing or eliminating barriers to employment and wider social participation and can offer progressions into further training, employment and education opportunities.

Appropriate Engagement Activities and Programmes are developed with Partners e.g. education, health and criminal justice teams, other charities, training providers and statutory organisations.
We help people to move away from drug and alcohol misuse, anti-social behaviours and criminal activities. Our engagement can be in the form of one-off sessions, fixed-term courses and rolling programmes.
They can operate as a stand alone or as a component or energiser within an existing programme e.g. weekly sessions have been delivered as part of Entry 2 Employment programmes and also to NEET groups via Connexions services.
Training Providers have also used C4C for motivational, reward and retention sessions which also deliver core skills in a fun and exciting way.

All sessions and programmes are developed to meet the specific needs of each partner and client group.

 

"Tutors observed how much the participants enjoyed it. Individuals displayed nerves, courage, leadership qualities and empathic support which has bolstered their confidence"

Case Study

Graham

Graham was a powerfully-built young deaf man who often displayed difficult aggressive behaviours.

He arrived at C4C to work within a group of ten 17-19 year olds, for a session in improving communication skills.

During pre-course planning we decided to use non-verbal communication and ask Graham to lead.

Graham arrived separately and was greeted by C4C staff who established a level of communication that was comfortable and effective

As the nominated leader, Graham flourished. With new found peer group respect, he revelled in the responsibility of his position. For the first time he was able to reach his potential by working as part of a team, and he clearly enjoyed the experience.

The feedback from Graham was extremely positive and the change in him was noticeable. This was due to the planning of the C4C staff and the hard work from Graham and the rest of the group.
