Community Workshops & Wellbeing Programmes
Signature Training Academy delivers a range of confidence‑building, wellbeing and pre‑employment workshops for adults and young people across Blackpool. Our sessions support individuals to improve confidence, build routine, reduce isolation and take positive steps towards training or employment.
Workshops are delivered in small groups and include practical activities, self‑care elements and supportive guidance from experienced trainers.

Who can attend?
Access to our community workshops is through referral only. We work with:
-
social prescribers
-
Work Coaches
-
wellbeing teams
-
community organisations
-
NEET providers
-
local support services
-
These partners identify individuals who would benefit from our programmes and complete the referral process on their behalf.


Are the workshops free?
Many of our community workshops are free to attend, depending on:
-
individual circumstances
-
referral route
-
available funded places
We work with local partners to offer fully funded access for eligible participants. Your referring organisation will confirm eligibility and available options before booking.
