We're excited to have been nominated for two MTM Awards this year - Business of the Year and Person of the Year

Every month we introduce a member of our board. This month we talked with Ted Fowler, board member of ACH, about his diverse array of past experiences and his future aspirations.

Our team is growing in Bristol! We have recently welcomed two new staff members to our ACH team. Emma and Jack started within a week of each other and have gone ahead full steam into their new roles. Emma has joined our support team, whilst Jack has joined our Himilo training team. 

For the past few months, ACH have been working in partnership with Up Our Street and SETsquared Bristol on a research project to improve Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) representation amongst tech start-ups in the city.

ACH West Midlands recently enjoyed a day out at the Drayton Manor Theme Park.  Our ACH Birmingham office organised a company function to the Theme Park to reward our hardworking staff on the 27th July 2018. Majority of our staff members from the Bristol, Birmingham and Wolverhampton offices attended our fun day out to break free from their daily work routine.

As part of our recent UK Youth course, we invited several local businesses and charities to talk to our learners about employment, support and volunteer opportunities in Bristol.

Our Job Club has been getting a make-over during August. With high demands and increasing referrals, we decided to make some changes to the way we run Job Club at ACH. These included hiring a new member of staff to run and oversee all things Job Club, adding an extra Job Club session each week to enable more people to be helped and now we are looking for Job Club volunteers.
