The ClementJames Centre

Our vision is for everyone in our community to release their potential and live fulfilled lives. We achieve this through education, employment and wellbeing support in a safe and compassionate space: 

• Employment Support: We help people to gain meaningful and sustainable employment through personalised advice and support, mentoring and work skills activities. 
• Adult Learning: We support adults to improve their maths, English and ICT skills through a wide range of Functional Skills and intensive Literacy & Numeracy support. 
• Children and Young People's Education: We help children and young people to learn, flourish and achieve their potential through academic support, mentoring, Literacy & Numeracy support and aspirational activities. 
• Wellbeing and Advice Support: We empower people to overcome barriers and challenges and to engage with their own wellbeing. We provide Information, Advice and Guidance, and wellbeing activities.
