Services Offered: Our core offer is to develop ‘community work’ skills with the opportunity to have learning accredited and to gain qualifications. This enables people to not just get engaged in their local community but to also get paid employment. In addition there will always be courses and programmes which aim to involve a wider group of people, such as Neighbourhood Learning in Deprived Communities and family learning as well as initiatives which develop specific new skills such as carnival arts, and first aid.

Mission Statement

“Through training, empower people and groups to take an active role in their communities”.

TWICS work is primarily targeted at groups and communities that are most disadvantaged and have least access to other training opportunities. What we aim to do:

  • Deliver good quality training that is enjoyable, involves everyone and starts from people’s own experiences.
  • Offer accreditation for learning where appropriate.
  • Improve the quality of community involvement through training
  • Provide information and advice on training and accreditation relevant to groups and individuals in their communities.
  • Support community networks
  • Work with statutory and voluntary organisations which have an interest and involvement in training.

TWICS is affiliated to the Federation for Community Development Learning.
