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 training is designed. This results in delivery that increases the skills, confidence and hope of local people.

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 address the personal and social barriers that people face.
