Last week we attended a tenant engagement meeting in Charlemont. As some of you may know - work is underway for our brand new build C3 - which will be located in Charlemont! Attending this meeting was important to us, as it really gave us the opportunity to engage with some of the community and residents in hearing their views & how we can work together!

Earlier this month, Calvin from @Loudspeaker delivered a public speaking workshop at @sandwellcollege This is part of our Step Up Sandwell Project, funded by UKSPF, supporting 18+ adult learners seeking employment /qualifications,helping them build skills needed to move forward. Participants gained valuable skills and confidence. We thank @commsinsync and UKSPF for making this possible.

As part of International Men’s Day earlier this week, our CEO & Operations Manager attended @Newman_Uni this week. It was an opportunity to engage with students, promote our student placement programme & connect with representatives from a range of partner organisations.
