Babbasa was formed in 2010 by four young graduates who observed rising levels of youth unemployment, educational underachievement and the rapid decline in youth aspirations in Bristol’s ethnically diverse inner city communities.
The group named the organisation ‘Babbasa’ – a word which represents the idea of ordinary citizens coming together to support members of society in need.
We shared two strong beliefs; that young people’s aspirations and opportunities should not be determined by their background, and that every young person has a unique skill or talent which, if explored and nurtured, can advance humanity in a significant way.
Why we are sponsoring CESWIt’s great to be back for the sixth year as sponsor and fourth as headline sponsor to the CESW Awards. Like last year, we are organising both the awards night and judging on behalf of CESW (you did ask us to come back). We keep coming back for more because despite the wealth of award schemes aimed at the construction sector, we believe there is a lack of celebration of regional success and that is what tonight is all about. It’s about celebrating the projects (and individuals) that impact us not just on a professional level but a personal one too, in our own communities. By lifting up our regional successes, we can then go on to promote the good work at a national level (We may be biased but we think the South West does pretty well at this!).
Who we are?SCF is a public sector construction framework, designed to support public sector organisations in the south of the UK. We have delivered well over £8 billion of combined construction schemes, establishing us as a leading procurement framework.Our framework is modelled on ‘Two Stage Open Book’ procurement, which makes the procurement process as effective as it can be through early engagement and collaborative working. This ethos and our drive for increased early contractor involvement enables us to help clients, stakeholders and framework partners to meet local, national and global goals in achieving the net zero carbon ambition, working with communities to deliver a net zero future which is increasingly at the heart of Conservation and Regeneration projects.
