  • Create a Future

    Create a Future exists to help people to realise their potential. We provide 1:1 and small group tuition for all ages, for all subjects and for all levels of learners. Generally, we support learners to achieve qualifications in maths (numeracy) and English (literacy) or to help individuals brush up on their basic skills. Sessions take place at home, in community settings, church halls, schools and we have been known to deliver sessions in MacDonalds and the local pub!. We can find tutors for specific subjects – Law, Latin, French, Spanish, Geography, History, Accounting, Music (Piano) and Knitting are some of the most recent subject areas requested. For community groups and programmes we can also offer Cooking without Numbers (Look and Cook), Financial Literacy (Know Your Numbers), Handwriting for Adults, Improve Your Reading (Reading Programme for Teens and Adults) and Brush Up Your Skills in Numeracy and Literacy. We support Looked After Children, Young Carers and provide Alternative Programmes for young people who are not at school – again in our core areas of English and Maths. Finally, we are the Regional Office for CREST Awards – the national programme that recognises project work – so if you and your clients are working on a project there may be ways that we can help you recognise progress. We are always delighted to talk about how we can work in partnership with other providers and will work with you to find ways to support joint programmes.

  • CVT Shared Lives West Midlands

    Shared Lives is sometimes described as being similar to ‘foster care for adults who have additional/complex needs' but it is so much more than that. The person is carefully matched to stay with a Shared Lives Carer, who opens up their home to support you to develop the skills to be as independent as possible; encourage new social networks, build self-esteem, confidence and lead the same ordinary domestic life at the heart of the community. Shared Lives Carers are passionate and dedicated about their work and this is why the model is such a powerful and effective form of care that creates a real sense of belonging for all those involved. People who are supported to remain in the community are known to lead longer, healthier, happier, lives. CVT Shared Lives currently have 38 households across the Black Country region who have been specially trained to provide a person-centred approach that supports the Person to make their own choices and take control of their every day lives. CVT provide Shared Lives to people from the age of 16+ who may be diagnosed with either a learning disability, mental ill health, autism, dementia, sensory impairment, acquired brain injury, older people or require support on discharge from hospital.

  • DAN.SOM in West Midlands

    The commitment shown by parents and their children who are community members has been the drive to the forming of the organisation. It's an opportunity for many parents who are on income support and cannot afford private homework and sports clubs. Many of these members are ethnic families, who are newly moved from other EU countries, asylum seekers or immigrants who have been in the country less than four years. Our main vision is to improve the quality of life for these children and young people by giving them support to educate themselves in the future and give them confidence and raise their standard of learning and give them also sports activities which will develop them to professional players to bigger clubs.
