Open Cast’s support for young people extends to Ghana!

August 12th, 2010

Open Cast has been supporting Ghanaian charity The Bridge Foundation for some time - and our latest fundraising event is the fashion show on 28 August.

The Bridge Foundation (TBF) was founded in 1996 by Mr. Ray Quarcoo, acclaimed philanthropist and sports enthusiast. It is a Ghanaian registered charity based in the nation’s capital, Accra. Dedicated to the cause of improving the social and economic well being of deprived and needy communities and individuals.

Their mission is to support and enhance a broader socio-economic capacity for underprivileged communities with focus on the youth, while at the same time building bridges of cooperation, friendship and understanding on a global scale through sports and socio-cultural creativity.

The Foundation has established a Youth Resource Centre consisting of a boxing gym, table tennis, IT training/library unit and an accommodation unit for volunteers. The unit consists of three bedrooms, bathroom/lavatory facilities and a kitchenette.

Open Cast’s donations have been put to good use during the development of the centre and our continued fundraising will provide much needed resources for the young people that attend.

Well done everyone!

New prospectus out now

June 3rd, 2010

I am delighted to confirm the release our latest prospectus – an up to date overview of our latest courses and provision.

At Open Cast we work hard to provide the support and training that young people need to re-engage with mainstream education, employment and training.

We have an excellent track record, having supported 1260 young people over the past 8 years and we are the ideal partner for schools and other agencies looking for a positive alternative to exclusion.

We offer training and mentoring support for young people from 13 to 25 years of age with a wide range of accredited courses on offer.  Our programmes are designed to fit seamlessly with school term times and our tried and tested model of delivery really delivers results.

If after reading the prospectus you would like to arrange a meeting to discuss how we might work more closely together, please get in touch.
