We are Hope Valley Wellbeing

We are kindly funded by the Heart of England Community Foundation.

Our objective is to support underrepresented groups in local communities so they can get back into education and employment. Our workshop activities are also a form of social prescribing options.

What we do

We offer an engaging and inspiring free level 1 Business Start-up Training & Craft Skills for young persons (16-30) not engaged in education, employment or training (NEET) in Solihull, Coventry & Birmingham UK. Wellbeing underpins all workshops.

We also welcome those who are out of the labour market, with recent convictions, those
experiencing substance dependency, victims of domestic violence,
and those looking for an unconventional career path (entrepreneurial) and in underrepresented ethnic groups. We are zero tolerance to discrimination and promote inclusivity throughout our organisation.

We also partner with aspiring and established artists to create limited edition - luxury unisex t-shirts. This also gives them (inc. NEET) a chance to earn commission from sales.

You can register for free by contacting us or via one of our referral partnerships.

For everyone else:

For those outside of the cohort, you can still benefit from our engaging and interactive and academically validated workshops at a complimentary price. these workshops are ongoing and can be scheduled at a time and date to suit you. We still have spaces available in 2023. Please remember places are limited.
