Future Tiger

Here's ourVision for the future of Tiger and the community.

A space where everyone in the community can come together in a warm, safe, welcoming environment for all. Mutual respect for all in the space as we work together to address societal issues, sharing best practice, signposting and supporting those in need.

This will be in the context of an organisation focused on helping people to build skills and confidence, including apprenticeships and formal training, helping people into work or to have a vehicle to give back to society.

Accessing grant funding gets harder year on year as there is less money to share around more organisations. Therefore income generation is vital to the future financial stability of Future Tiger.

However, we believe it can be done whilst offering genuine opportunities to people who may be finding it hard to get into work, in a nurturing space. Maybe they need extra help, time and a slow introduction into the responsibilities of work. With programmes in place, we can offer this focus.

Running lots of activities in the space opens up further training opportunities.

We have been in discussions to take over a hotel. Unfortunately the leaseholder has changed their mind about supporting us to take over the building so we are back to working on a plan for Tiger to have it's own space.

We are focused on continuing our core projects at All Souls Community Centre. This includes our Tiger Community Cafe on Wednesdays.

Not just great food but fun and engaging activities to suit different tastes and ages.

In addition we have regular events including our quiz night and gigs in conjunction with other groups.

At Tiger we believe in people and that with the right environment people are kind, considerate and support others. We will gently remind and encourage people of this.

You can't have community without a planet.

We like to share ideas and encourage people along the journey of sustainability. From collecting hard to recycle items, building sustainability into all our projects or sharing skills so that people can improve their own environment, the planet is always considered in our actions.

Whilst we are back to the drawing board to secure a building we recognise the need to raise funds so that we can continue our projects and be in a position to move quickly once a new space presents itself.
