Top Church Training are a registered charity whose overall focus is to support personal development, improve employment prospects, provide practical help through difficult times and offer a gateway through which people can become more involved in community life.
We work predominantly within Dudley Borough, but can also offer our services to those living outside the area.
Even though the project was born out of Christian church community, we are not a religious group and are open to all denominations & beliefs.
We offer bespoke 1-2-1 mentoring and support for those individuals who need it. We focus on overcoming barriers, working with each individual to achieve their goals through accessing the many opportunities that we offer or can help them to access.
We run individual and group sessions in order to address their lack of hope in life and their mental health/well-being: to build confidence and self-esteem and to provide them with skills to raise life aspirations.
We run a café placement scheme and an office administration scheme to provide work experience. We also support service users with healthy eating and cooking on a budget.
Participants in these activities can access our café or admin work placements where we focus on building their confidence, self-esteem and social skills. To prepare them to return to education or training and then possibly leading them into volunteering or even employment.
Additionally, through our group sessions and activities at the café, we bring people together helping to reduce their isolation and loneliness resulting in them having improved social skills so that they become enabled to access services by themselves.
