Ask The Question CIC thanks West Yorkshire’s VCEP Ltd for generous sponsorship donation

Ask The Question CIC in Hebden Bridge has thanked West Yorkshire property company, VCEP Ltd, for their generous donation of a year's worth of tuition and mentorship for one of their students as part of their ‘business sponsorship’ scheme. 

Ask The Question C.I.C. provides children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences, in particular focussing on those children who have suffered abuse, trauma or neglect, with access to holistic support in the form of one-to-one tuition and mentorship. They are a trauma-informed organisation, with an educational psychologist always on site, and they practice ‘attachment theory’, providing students with an environment which is safe, secure, flexible, caring and where positive relationships are seen as fundamental. Sessions at ‘Ask The Question’ focus on well-being, social and emotional learning, and the building of resilience. Since formally establishing themselves as a CIC in 2017, they have worked with over 120 students, over half of which have been care experienced.

VCEP has created a number of amazing Business Park developments throughout West Yorkshire creating Business Hubs and invigorating local communities, including Holroyd Mill Old Lane, Halifax, Gelderd Road, Leeds and Sowerby Bridge Business Park. Virginia Lloyd, who co-founded VCEP Ltd with her husband Clive, said, “We are delighted to be able to support a young person in Calderdale with their education, enabling them to access the one-to-one tuition and support which ATQ provides.” 

Jo Austin, founder of Ask The Question CIC, said, “We are absolutely delighted that VCEP Ltd will be sponsoring one of our student’s tuition for this academic year. It will make a huge difference in the life and opportunities of this particular young person, and we are honoured that an esteemed local, family-run business such as VCEP Ltd sees the value in what we provide here at Ask The Question.”
