About us
Unlocking Community Potential CIC knows that our strength lies not only in the words we stand by but most importantly through the actions of our initiatives. In 2018, our Non-Profit Organisation realised that by working together we could overcome our challenges much more efficiently, and that is why we ultimately decided to launch Unlocking Community Potential CIC.
At Unlocking Community Potential CIC we are all about helping those people who are on the margins of society, the long term unemployed, seeking new qualifications to embark on a new pathway to employment or people suffering from mental health issues looking for a way back into society or work.
We are a registered training provider running nationally accredited courses, which can be designed specifically catering for individual’s needs. These courses range across many diverse interests and activities including animal care, sports coaching, health and fitness, business admin, floristry, horticulture, art and countryside craft.
We run a variety of well-being courses, where our aim is to help individuals overcome social or personal barriers. We run projects to encourage the enhancement of the environment, which also helps individuals to relax and reflect in preparation for the accredited programmes.
We run a volunteer programme, which allows people to spend a day with us on our smallholding tending to the animals, working in the garden and on the allotment. This helps generate confidence, improve communication and leads to a positive reference for future employment.
