The Guild and FOMAC join forces against homelessness

In 2019, our trading partner The Guild, will be celebrating 21 years in business and as part of their commemorative celebrations, they decided to established 21 gifts of £500 each, to be awarded to charities nominated by their clients.   Teresa Osborn of Fomac, nominated CRISIS and was delighted when The Guild called to say CRISIS had been selected.   Fomac decided to match The Guilds donation and were delighted to be able to make a joint contribution of £1,000 to this great organisation.

CRISIS invited Teresa and Peter Smallwood of The Guild, to attend their SKYLIGHT Centre in London to present the cheques and have the opportunity to see first-hand the amazing work they do for the homeless.     CRISIS want to stamp out homelessness for ever and they not only assist their members finding affordable housing, they are continually campaigning to find long term solutions to resolve the housing crisis.    They also offer a range of support services to ensure their members never become homeless again.   This includes Training to assist finding new employment opportunities, CV writing, Language and numeracy skills and  a host of complimentary services such as Optician, Podiatry, Music, Mindfulness and counselling.

Teresa found the whole experience enlightening and humbling.   It was a stark reminder that there are 1,000’s of people out there who for whatever reason, have fallen on hard times and found themselves without a roof over their head.   Whether it is donating or volunteering your time, please do whatever you can to stop this CRISIS from getting any worse.

CITB Changes Grace Period on Certificate Renewals

CITB announced changes to the Site Safety Plus Scheme Rules with regards to the way delegates renew their SMSTS and SSSTS certificates.

There is currently a six month grace period in which delegates can sit a refresher course after the date their certificate has expired, as of 31st December 2015 there will be no grace period after your certificate expires. This means that you must now sit a refresher course before your current certificate expires, failure to do so will mean that you have to sit the full course again.

The changes mean all workers who hold these certificates must be aware of their tickets expiry date and ensure they book on to an SMSTS or SSSTS Refresher course before the expiry date. There will be no exceptions to the new rule without a formal appeal being submitted to the CITB for approval.
