community connect foundation

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.

sundragon community pottery

Sundragon Pottery is a “not for profit” Community Association, run as a members club. It began life in late 2013, when Becky Belcher, Fiona Scanlan, and other refugees from the seven potteries that closed down in Birmingham (due to funding cuts), set up the studio to have somewhere to “play with clay”. It has flourished because of the hard work, determination, and benevolence of our members. We offer a variety of membership options and courses for experienced and aspiring potters of all ages and abilities, as well as one-on-one tutoring and pottery parties.

highbury orchard community cic

We run the orchard partly as a volunteer project, and partly as a service activity for a variety of specific groups, including woodland play activities for chidren, Forest School for All Ages with adults, particularly those with mental health, wellbeing, or recovery interests. Some of those activities provide bits of income. Sessions are either by arrangement or open to all. There are set work sessions open to all on the first and third Sunday of each month, and a combination of drop-in and bespoke woodland play sessions most Wednesdays.

Our core drivers of Outcomes, Values and Choices are at the heart of our daily actions and interactions. Our aim is simple; by rigorously instilling our values, students achieve positive outcomes enabling them to make considered life choices which open doors to the opportunities they deserve.  Our team shares the vision. We all aspire to make a difference for our students every day. We pride ourselves on building strong relationships based on mutual respect, at all levels. Our relentless desire to deliver high quality teaching and pastoral support combined with an array of opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom, enables our students to develop the knowledge, skills and character to lead successful, fulfilling lives. We create a safe and happy environment where students are nurtured academically, socially, and emotionally so that they are ready to tackle academic challenges and have the values to become responsible members of our society.  Outcomes We educate our students to understand that 'outcomes' means academic attainment and progress, development of values and character and progression to their preferred destinations. We support our students to achieve academic qualifications that empower them to seize opportunities and advance to the next stage of their chosen educational journey. We empower our students to have the knowledge, skills, personal traits and experiences in order to seize career and life opportunities. Values We are ready, respectful and responsible.  We are honest. We do what we say we’ll do and do not make excuses. We are a team. Helping a member of our team is helping ourselves Choices We develop our students to have the strength of character and courage to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Our values support our students to make the life choices that will have a positive impact on their future and contribution to society. Being outcome focused and values driven, students take responsibility for their learning and actions which opens doors for them to have a breadth of choices when they leave school.
