The Skills Within is a Community Interest Company established to create opportunities to enable individuals and businesses to gain new skills or utilise their existing skills to benefit the community.
As a Community Interest Company, The Skills Within pledges to plough back all profits for community development.
Established in January 2022, we set-up to bridge the gaps that we recognised as confining the business growth and operations of our family, friends, business and charity service providers. We set out to help identify these gaps and provide necessary support, allowing businesses and individuals to focus on their fundamental Skills Within.
We offer a free consultation for any individual or business, to discuss and assess needs.
