Our Mission
Hi, I’m Sian, the founder of Foundation 14a, so let me tell you all about it. Our intent is to liberate talent, extend opportunity, and empower communities. Additionally, we provide skills and jobs to enable prosperity and create a sustainable economy. Our initiatives support the disadvantaged and those at risk of economic inactivity. Therefore, we focus on work-related skills and competences. We promote accessibility for all and extend participation to underprivileged communities. As a result, we tackle poverty at its roots by equipping participants with skills for sustainable employment.
What We Do
Foundation 14a supports individuals facing social disadvantages. We help those from low-income backgrounds, those rehabilitating from crime and addiction, victims of bullying and violence, and those feeling excluded due to race, sexuality, religion, or disability. A welcoming environment awaits all those in need. We teach these individuals with compassion and understanding, providing pathways to escape negative thoughts and situations.
Our Approach
We connect with disadvantaged groups through interactive and immersive teaching. Our workshops cover Beauty Therapy, Nail Technology, and Sports & Holistic Therapies, great skills to join established businesses or to become self-employed. Each course includes essential skills like literacy, numeracy, and IT. We also focus on practical employment preparation, including CV writing, interview presentation, and techniques. Our courses are tailored to individual groups, organizations, and budgets, ensuring diverse opportunities that engage and interest participants.
Success
With an impressive 66% of our participants moving on to employment, self-employment, or further education, our impact speaks for itself. We take great pride in these results and look forward to helping more candidates on to new careers.
