TrainingIt is widely acknowledged that the economic situation is a challenge for this region, especially for our young people.

Long term unemployment causes food insecurity and that in turn closes down opportunities for employment and further education.

Hope centre training started providing specialist training two years ago and we formally launched the Hope centre training suite at the beginning of this year.

Our first project has been the delivery of four hospitality cert 3 courses, which after three rounds has seen 37 people in employment.

Thank You For Coming

We hope you enjoy your breakfast.
