Well now you can with Train the Trainer dates now available from July

With our flexible Train the Trainer offer there is now the opportunity to embed the Your Own Place tenancy sustainment and money support approaches and knowledge in your organisation as well as have access to a vault of resources, workshop plans and support.

Your Own Place has built a stellar reputation for its delivery of Train the Trainer workshops. 

With a proven track record of developing colleagues in housing associations, supported housing and the third sector to become confident and empathic trainers in their own right, our workshops are designed to provide comprehensive money, housing and tenancy knowledge, practical training skills, and engagement techniques that inspire confidence in supporting your tenants and residents.

Whether it’s our use of neuro-diverse friendly Pinpoint facilitation that’s always intrigued you, or the coaching, restorative and asset-based approaches, or maybe the content of a budgeting session, together we’ll take a Show-Do-Review approach as you build your skills as a confident facilitator.

Options to train include a spot purchase option (four three-hour workshops in Norwich with the first two coming as a package) as well as more bespoke group workshops if you want us to train up a whole team and come to you – anywhere in the country.

Spot purchase participants will be able to book immediately onto the first two or all four workshops.

Join us at Your Own Place to reach more people to make a difference in preventing homelessness and experience the transformative power of our Train the Trainer workshops firsthand.

On 31st August this year Rebecca, CEO and founder of Your Own Place CIC, will be leaving to pastures new, leaving behind an organisation that has impacted 1000s of lives in its quest to prevent homelessness – near and far. 

Working as a trading social enterprise, Your Own Place counts all sectors among its friends, customers and partners in delivering services that support people, often on the cusp of losing their home or actually rough sleeping. In equipping people to find their own solutions and to recognise their strengths as a means to taking more support and knowledge on board, the aim of Your Own Place has always been to be a bit different from crisis and more traditional charitable services. 

And this has been the driving mission of Rebecca. Rebecca experienced a career observing short-term, often inequitable fixes that did little to see long-term change for people left behind through no fault of their own. 

Rebecca says ‘I’m proud of the last decade, working against many odds, sticking to my guns, and alongside many wonderful people inside and outside the team to create a culture of compassion and a sustainable social business. I will enjoy looking from afar at what the next decade brings to an organisation that sadly is more needed than ever’. 

For now it’s business as usual and Your Own Place will be recruiting a new CEO from 2nd April. 

It’s time. Your Own Place has made the not-so-difficult decision to leave X, formerly known as Twitter.

Personally, when I started out in 2013, I enjoyed Twitter. It was a place of connection, learning, ideas and positive novelty. We even picked up customers and partners who interacted with our work.

We have seen this be eroded over the last year. In a world of polarised keyboard warriors, it has become harder to find the joy and positivity. Instead we are bombarded by toxic hatred, lies, adverts and bots.

This is not something I want to endure for my own wellbeing or benefit and therefore why would I encourage the team to have to interact with it and indeed those we exist to support?

Furthermore, gaining any analytics about our posts and their reach has been made impossible.

We are leaving with immediate effect and look forward to engaging with you on other platforms and maybe face to face 😉
