We are Double Click Design & Print, publishers of Like Minded magazine, and a nurturing Community Interest Company (CIC) that helps disadvantaged people by giving them support and training in a safe work environment. As a not-for-profit CIC we help people with mental health needs while running as a commercial business, with all our profits going back into running a successful local design and print business that supports the wider community. The training we offer to the people that come through our studio doors is at the forefront of a business that also needs to remain financially viable to enable us to develop and continue helping those who need it. With this in mind, our aim is to continue to develop the business and put the community at its very heart: helping other firms and boosting the local economy while at the same time fulfilling our primary goal of supporting those with mental health problems. Every trainee that comes through the design studio is referred to us by Flintshire County Council, with up to seven trainees attending in any given day. Double Click can give its trainees real work experience in a real work environment, tailored to their needs. They can work towards an accreditation in newly-acquired skills, are allowed to learn at their own pace, and can be offered oneto-one support from a member of our highly experienced staff. They can be offered a long-term development plan in areas such as office skills or graphic design and are able to train in a nopressure environment and in a

relaxed atmosphere. Our staff do not invite stress and a safe and nurturing environment for our trainees is always at the forefront of our minds. There are opportunities for suitably skilled people to take up paid employment or be offered additional training placements and we have close business ties with other training organisations and local companies. Double Click’s staff is made up of graphic design professionals with many years experience between them, with valuable help coming from skilled volunteers and trainees. A member of the council’s Mental Health Services team also works on secondment with us. There is a board of directors who help steer the business, which is led on a day-to-day basis by our on-site general manager. Clients are attracted to us because of the core aims of our business. They can see how we are helping to support people within the community while producing top-quality products, including business stationery, leaflets, flyers and brochures, and by offering website design services. We also provide bespoke photographic and digital printed materials. Our aim is to offer clients a service they would be unable to get in a large studio while delivering a finished product that is as good as one from a big city firm.
