COMMUNITY SHELTER HOMELESS CENTRE DEVELOPMENT
Working Towards a Brighter Future for Homeless people
In 2021 our aim is to open the UK's first boot camp in the West Midlands to help those who are homeless begin a new phase in their lives.
We will welcome residents into their home, which are serviced apartments for the 8-week boot camp. The structured programmes involves daily exercise including weights, job seeking, tenancy and money management skills and gets participants job ready either volunteering or having attended at least one job interview. The support doesn’t end there, for 6 months the individual continues to receive support to ensure a successful transition into employment and a secure home.
