Dominion Training

Our walking club was at the Eastmoor community garden centre.

We are grateful for community partners in Wakefield who work with us to organise food parcels and household items for our particpants and the vulnerable.
We see the smile it brings and we do not take it for granted

We are thankful for all stakeholders, employers and programme partners we collaborate with to deliver simply solutions that improve lives

We are proud of our Connecting Opportunities Champions and Volunteers who presented tutorials on designing decoupage artwork during the Connecting Opportunities End of Year Event on the 1st and 2nd December 2020

Last week via zoom was great with other connecting opportunity programme partners analysing ways to continuously deliver quality support to our diverse participants & learners. It was priceless to see all share their challenges of how COVID-19 has impacted on ESOL teaching delivery. This was a brainstorming session and partners shared resources designed to improve participant learning.

Do not hesistate to contact or visit us if you are in difficulty settling in Wakefield or if you require English and functional skills to gain employment.

At Dominion Housing we are constantly educating, enlightening and empowering our tenants to become better in life.

Some hidden talent from our participants and learners. See a display of some of their current and previous creative activities. At Dominion, we are amazed and booming with pride for them.

**Women Centred Working initiative programme**
Our Connection opportunities team had an invaluable time during an online session with our partners gaining significant knowledge about the Women Centred Working initiative.
The project is about sharing good practice and promoting effective women centred approaches to support the design and delivery of better services that respond to the diverse experiences and needs of women migrants. This intiative is a hands-on approach which also involves changing thinking through evaluation, reflection and learning alongside various project partners. This work often highlights the complex problems such as joblessness or low skilled jobs, exploitation and domestic abuse.
You will be please to know that there is support and we encourage all women living in wakefield facing some kind of difficulty to get in touch. Your enquiry will be treated confidentially.

Our Hopeful Families team stand in unity with our Wakefield community and our various programme partners Halifax Opportunities Trust, Yorkshire Children's Centre and Groundworks to continously support the vulnerable and the homeless. If you are homeless and unemployed, do get in touch with Dominion Training as soon as you possibly can.

The Homeless & our commitment to keep Wakefield safer 

During this pandemic, creating stability and improving safety for those who are homeless has been a priority for our housing team. We have worked closely with Wakefield Council to place 8 people into accomodations they can now proudly call their homes.
It does not stop there. There is continous support for all aspects of their personal development by close supervision, tailored mentorship and personalised training.

Our Hopefamilies and Connecting Opportunities projects are still open for new referrals. We are carrying out essential work to support those extremely vulnerable & our participants during the pandemic. Our learners are encouraged to use this opportunity to grow their skills and take advantage of our eLearning page and online courses from home.

THE HOMELESS AND OUR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 

You will be please to know we are working closely with Wakefield Council Housing Team to ensure the Homeless are off the streets and placed in secure & safe accommodations. This involves collaborative effort from agencies such as the probation services.  We will all Beat COVID-19 TOGETHER

Sustainable development continues!

We were at Oxfam with our participants and learners for an extensive tour of their facility. This opportunity is priceless. They are leaders in recyling, renewable energy, online digital marketing and a top employer for volunteers 

Sustainable development

Social and environmental sustainability is at the top of our agenda this year. We were invited to Renewi UK Limited who are a leading 'waste-to-product company'. About 90% of their 14 million tonnes of waste yearly is either recycled or used for energy

Raymond's Success Story !!
After 17years, Raymond was made redundant and heard about Dominion Training.
