Numidia Academy Education & Training

Thank you to Kathy's Cupcakes & More for these delicious, and very smart, cupcakes! We loved them! 🧁

This lovely lady leaves Numidia today 😥. We thank you, Danielle, for the energy, enthusiasm, joy and positivity that you brought to the company and to the roles that you undertook. You came into your own on the Progress programme with your ability to engage and motivate young people and help them build their confidence and self esteem so that they could progress into work. You have been an absolute star 🌟. We know you will be amazing in your new role and we wish you the very best of luck and much love always in the future. Thank you for all that you have done. Keep shining, Danielle # # 🌟🌟🌟

Our fabulous ESF/BBO funded programme, helping young people progress into employment or education, finishes in a couple of weeks. There's so much sadness that there is no replacement funding in place and that essential support for people who need it will no longer be there. This young person's feedback sums things up and leaves us feeling emotional. "The understanding of the individual that struggles, not only in life, but in finding a passion that results in having a positive look at life rather than a hopeless one – without this programme I would not be writing this now! This programme has gone over my expectation! It has made me less anxious and more confident being out in public and dealing with people as a whole. It gave me opportunity after opportunity until I found my purpose in life, for now. I am grateful that it was always something new and expanded my knowledge for the future. I am very disappointed that this programme is finishing for good as I believe others, from my own experience, could benefit and save young people’s lives for the better. Taking away this programme is taking away the future of people without hope!"

Progress Well-being Art workshop. 14/02/23. Dreamcatchers and pizza! 🍕

Some of our Numidia Centres over the last twenty years - not including Torrington Avenue, Coventry Central Library or Bedworth #2. We've also delivered at some great outreach locations including Tyler House, in Stratford-upon-Avon, Benn Partnership in Rugby, Hill Street Centre in Rugby and WCAVA in Nuneaton.

A fabulous, festive, well-being craft workshop took place yesterday for our Progress participants at our Leamington centre.

This morning I visited Charlie’s Coffee Shop in Coventry town centre. The shop forms part of a recovery community and all proceeds go directly into The Dynamo Project. The Dynamo Project offers support to anybody struggling with addiction related issues. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction you can pop into Charlie’s Coffee Shop and ask to ‘Speak to Charlie’ or visit www.thedynamoproject.co.uk 024 76 123123.

Today is a sad day because our loyal, dedicated and hardworking friend and colleague leaves Numidia after nearly 15 years' service. Charlotte joined us when we were based at our original centre in Torrington Avenue and has been a key member of staff across all of our centres since then (Coventry Central Library, Park Road, Atherstone, Bedworth x2, Nuneaton and more latterly, Leamington Spa. We estimate that Charlotte must have conducted IAG and registrations for over 8000 learners during this time. Charlotte has been a favourite team member and friend to all of the staff we have worked with over the years, especially to Lorraine, Nasser, Leila, Jane, Anna, Hardeep and Danielle whom she worked particularly closely with. Who can forget the ace LITUK team? We have shared stressful times with the funny times - and you have always been there. We are sad to see you leave but wish you every success, lots of love and good luck in your new role. Thank you for being just lovely! 😄🥳👏👋😓🌷🧁🍾🥂 We will miss you! # #

A BIG thank you to all those participants, past and present, who attended the Progress Celebration event last Wednesday evening at FarGo Village. It was fantastic to see so many of you there! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Thank you very much and all the best to you all in the future! 👍🤩🙌 — at FarGo Village Coventry
