actes trust receives national lottery funding boost!

July has seen Actes Trust receive some great news on the funding front, having been successful in securing almost £20,000 from The National Lottery Awards for All fund to enable us to continue our very successful and award-winning Past, Present & Your Future Provision.

​

Past, Present & Your Future is a short course designed to equip Middlesbrough/Stockton-on-Tees residents with convictions to become more confident about disclosing their conviction(s) to employers and training/education providers, and in the process, become more motivated and empowered to fulfill their potential.

 

The course covers:

•  When/how to disclose a conviction to an employer/educator/training provider

•  The impact of specific convictions on career progression

•  How to write a disclosure statement

•  The differences between spent/unspent convictions

•  Which employers support hiring people with convictions

​

In November 2023, we were awarded 'Quality Mark Centre of the Year' at the AIM Qualifications and Assessment Group Empowering Futures Award for the delivery and impact of our Past, Present & Your Future provision.​​​
