Support & Advice for Local Groups
 Many Organisations - whether statutory, private, voluntary or community groups - now recognise their clients are held back by poor Basic Skills. Yet keeping up with the Skills for Life strategy is an enormous task. Accurate up-to-date information, training and support has been vital to local groups in meeting the needs of their clients... What people say about BEGIN... "BEGIN is a very supportive agency. They always pass on information and contacts. Their knowledge has certainly been very useful to me. In terms of applying for funding, you have to be sure you do it right. BEGIN's people come and talk you through the forms. Without BEGIN it would be a nightmare for Colleges, who are already overstretched." Sharon Allen, People's College "As a part of Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust we support our service users in providing Skills for Life. When we approached BEGIN for advice, they proved to be extremely positive and very willing to share information." Jane Steed, SPAN "We are an umbrella organisation for voluntary sector learning providers. BEGIN are a member and we also use them for training and Basic Skills awareness. They are a good organisation to work with. BEGIN is certainly unique. There isn't anybody else doing what they do." Don Hayes, ENABLE "BEGIN have given us ESF funding to support English Language courses, as well as lots of information and guidance regarding asylum seekers and refugees. They are very informative and approachable. They just get the job done." Mitch O'Neill, Surestart St Anns "I work for a community mental health team and BEGIN have been very useful to us in getting people onto good courses. It started when I had a client interested in English and I found out that they were the people to talk to. They have subsequently helped in a number of different ways, like making our own letters more simple and readable for clients. They are very good to work with." Mel Keegan, NHS Trust "We offer training and employment opportunities to people who are disadvantaged, BEGIN has helped us support our learners. It's been really positive. They have given us a lot of time and let us know about other organisations. It's good for us to network and BEGIN help us do that."
