Where We Are Now
We're excited to share that Lakota has transitioned into a Community Interest Company, marking a significant milestone in our journey. We're thrilled to introduce Jess as our newest Director, joining our team with her valuable experience. Jess has been an integral part of Lakota since January 2020, and her dedication and expertise make her a fantastic addition to our leadership. Welcome aboard, Jess!
We have just overcome a critical juncture in our business plan, by expanding into larger premises. This has enabled us to reach our potential of training larger groups with a larger variety of qualifications, which will enable our clients to progress onto higher level qualifications in the same comfortable environment.
We also have a specialist support team on hand including a signer to support Deaf or hard of hearing and a Qualified Counsellor who is there for anyone who has any mental health issues including anxiety and depression.
This gives our clients the comfort and security of not having to look elsewhere to achieve their personal goals, and has helped improve our already excellent retention and attendance record.
