YTD Raised: £530.00
(UK, SC035206) Clydesdale Community initiatives (CCI) are an award winning social enterprise based Lanark. We have been well recognised for our commitment to creating outstanding opportunities for people facing significant barriers to social inclusion and employment. Clydesdale Community Initiatives was initially set-up in 2002 to enable young people atrisk and adults with mental health issues to develop a derelict site in Lanark, South Lanarkshire. This project was so successful, with both groups benefiting hugely from their involvement, that it was decided they would undertake furtherprojects. Since 2002, Clydesdale Community Initiatives, also known as CCI, have set up a landscaping trading side to the business and have worked on a myriad of projects, all of which have had community or participant input. By incorporating the principle that no one should be defined in terms of their support needs, rather they should be recognised for the contribution they areable to offer, CCI's participants have gained invaluable experience of vocationaland social skills and as a result have increased in their self-confidence and well-being, thusoften reducing long term demands on mainstream services.

Over 80% of our work force are volunteers, who give their time to be receptionists, gateway assessors, advisers, administrative support, some specialist caseworkers and financial capability trainers.
