Supporting Alfie to achieve his goals

Pattern circle

Alfie knew it was time for a change. After working in a busy housing support role, he decided to slow things down and take a new direction by becoming self‑employed.

He set up his own dog walking business and quickly spotted a gap in the market for dog grooming services in his local area. With a clear goal in mind, Alfie explored how he could build the right skills to grow his business further.

With support from Twenty11, Alfie created a Personal Success Plan and applied to the Aspiration Pot to fund an intensive dog grooming course. The course gave him the full qualification he needed to offer grooming alongside dog walking.

After successfully completing the training, Alfie has been able to expand his services and grow his client base, helping him move closer to achieving his personal and professional goals.
