Story
One of our fundamental areas is to help clients self-actualise the potential of their future selves, and Stonepillow provides many educational programs for professional and personal development.
Many of our clients have been out of mainstream training, education, and employment for many years, and lack the confidence and skill to see that further education is a possibility for themselves. Our Bridging Course, run by Chichester University, is a 10-week course that provides a foundation to learn new skills and bridge the gap to higher education.
Alongside this, we run a partnership with Tuppenny Barn, a charity who's aim is to inspire communities to learn about sustainable and organic food. Through our partnership they provide weekly social and therapeutic sessions to support members of the community. Similarly, Cobnor Activities Centre Trust run a bespoke programme for Stonepillow where clients gain the opportunity to go sailing.
Opportunities such as these and many more do wonders for the mental health, wellbeing and confidence of our clients.
