Raising community leaders nationwide to respond to the UK’s most complex social issues.

Inspired by our Christian faith, Nicodemus seeks to rescue, restore and revive broken lives through the provisions of mentorship, training and community mobilisation.
 
Community Connect UK will provide affordable and accessible cross-cultural education and training opportunities for churches and charities nationwide: equipping community leaders and volunteers with the knowledge to address adverse challenges affecting vulnerable young people and individuals they work with, so they can better support marginalised sections of their community.
 
Delivering a series of “Improving Mental Health through Mentorship” training courses, alongside specialist resources, one-to-one support and practical group workshops, this programme aims to reduce long-term impacts of poverty by:

- educating and increasing practitioner’s understanding of the bidirectional causal relationship between poverty and mental health

- enabling practitioners to recognise early contributing factors that heighten vulnerabilities and increase risks of homelessness, abuse, addiction, grooming and sexual/drug exploitation

- practically support practitioners to develop mentoring programmes that empower and release those most at risk to achieve their full potential

 
Our strategy involves engaging the global church and charities with relevant and topical resources that equip and empower community leaders and volunteers to serve the most marginalised and at-risk individuals so they can overcome disadvantage and inspire positive change.
 
Having conducted extensive research alongside an 18-month pilot training 75 services, Nicodemus has been overwhelmed with demand as mentorship has proven effective in improving mental health and transforming lives.
