Black Country Impact fund has awarded the training provider two grants to support young people in Wolverhampton and help them find work.

The funding of £30,000, which has been awarded to Bespoke Training Ltd, is being provided so that young adults can boost their career in the fitness industry, training to be instructors or personal trainers.

Graham Coffey, of Bespoke Training Ltd, said: "My company has been awarded two grants from the fund.

"The aim of the grants is to help young people, aged 16 to 29-years of age who are unemployed, not in education or training to gain qualifications as gym instructors or personal trainers.

"We want to highlight this great opportunity to help people retrain and gain employment."

Bespoke Training Ltd, provides an alternative and flexible approach to education and wellbeing, and aims to help every person improve their wellbeing, increase self-esteem and develop pathways to expand opportunities to reach their full potential in education, employment and health.

The company runs educational and wellbeing courses to help individuals who are missing out on aspects of their education, through ill-health, behaviour, mental health or educational issues, to those who need to retrain or are unemployed.

Sessions with the provider are based at Claregate Youth Centre, near Aldersley Leisure Centre in Wolverhampton.

The company offers a range of qualifications and training schemes to support young people in various sectors.
