Three13 Training and Enterprise Ltd

Initially set up by Tees Valley Community Church to share their nine-acre site for wider community benefit, Three13 uses training to change the lives of adults facing barriers to employment in North East England.

"Why sit in a classroom when your learning could help someone else?" is the principle on which all of our programmes are designed. This results in delivery that upskills the individuals learning with us and creates tangible outcomes for the communities in which they live.

It is an amazing thing to have a heart for training people who need a fresh start. However, from its inception, Three13 has been about more than just training, but rather about changing lives.

As Christians, we believe everyone is created with value and purpose, so our approach to helping people move forward starts and ends with restoring that sense of worth.

We work with 180+ people each year, offering inclusive learning opportunities in hubs and neighbourhood settings that unlock new skills, abilities and ideas to the benefit of our communities and economy.
