Understanding Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships
in Education and Training
Based in Newport, South Wales, Charter Housing is part of the Seren Group and provides social housing across Newport, Monmouthshire, Caerphilly and Torfaen. The Growing Together project sits within the Community Regeneration team, whose primary purpose is to provide appropriate support, advice and guidance to our more vulnerable tenants to enable them to become independent and positively contribute to the communities in which they live.
The Growing Together project is funded by the National Lottery and provides a range of individualised support for young single parents aged 14 to 25 years. This includes accredited and unaccredited courses ranging from personal skills such as confidence, self esteem and positive communication; practical skills such as DIY, upcycling and cooking; digital skills; and employability skills such as time management and team working.
