Collaboration
Simplyworks
This web site was made possible with the collaboration of Simplyworks. Straight Talking is very grateful to Warren Bushaway at Simplyworks for his expertise. Simplyworks is a social enterprise, training marginalised people to design web sites. Profits are fed back into local social initiatives with similar objectives. Simplyworks trained one of Straight Talking's young fathers who participated in this design.
Kaleidoscope
Some of our young parents are learning computer skills at Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope is a charity that provides holistic support to people on the margins of society.
National Childbirth Trust
Straight Talking is working with the National Childbirth Trust to help young mothers gain a qualification in ante natal care. This qualification from Luton University is from certificate to degree level. The mothers will be qualified to run ante natal courses. The courses will be available to pregnant teenagers who don't access mainstream services.
