Bilston Resource Centre

As set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the objects of the charity are: to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the area of benefit. In particular, to advance Christian values, education and training, relieve sickness and old age, preserve and protect good health and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants. Bilston Resource Centre's main activity is to support local people to access learning, skills and employment, by providing a welcoming open access facility, providing Information Advice & Guidance {IAG), help with CVs and jobsearch, as well as learning opportunities in Basic Skills, ESOL and Information Technology. We also work with other partners within our networks and provide vocationally relevant skills and qualifications. Additionally, we have developed the community hub and cafe to bring community groups together and also enabling organisations to make use of the centre's new purpose built facilities. All of the Centre's activities are aimed at supporting local people, in an area of high deprivation. No member of the Company, including the Directors, receives any financial benefit from their involvement with the Centre. In developing activities and delivering services, the Directors have taken account of the guidance on public benefit published by the Charities Commission.
