We are delighted to announce the three organisations that successfully secured funding from the Coventry University and Coventry 4 Good grant scheme have all started their activity ahead of the project start deadline January 2016.
Here’s a brief overview of the organisations and what the funding will help them to achieve:
Coffee Tots
Three Spires Tots charity practically supports vulnerable and disadvantaged parents and children in Coventry, helping them to build relationships and networks though the provision of a parenting support project called Coffee Tots. They aim to:
- Remove families from isolation
- Create confident, positive parents who feel well supported and loved,
- Improve the parent-child bond
- Increase the families life experiences and expectations
Their job club project will ensure that disadvantaged and isolated parents – often with little or no qualifications will receive the benefit of increased skills, recognised qualifications and access to vital help to get them in to employment. Each parent who comes off benefits and into employment increases the life chances of their children; it breaks the cycle of low expectations at school and allows them higher expectations of what they can achieve.
