Welcome to CPO Media
The Community Press Office was established in 2002 and became a company limited by guarantee in July 2005 with the mission statement of “giving you a voice where it matters most“. As a unique community based social enterprise providing design, print, media and PR services, CPO Media has consistently offered an alternative voice in the community.
More recently, CPO has refined its community agenda to focus on passing on the skills, opportunities and resources that its media background has awarded it, to NEETs and disadvantaged groups in the local area. Initially this was through a number of community programmes including the volunteer-led magazine VOXX (2008-present), the Community Taskforce, which worked in partnership with TV4Change to offer young people media and journalism opportunities (2010-11), and work experience placements for media students studying at the Grimsby Institute for Further and Higher Education.
Moving forward into 2012, CPO has been keen to expand its background in volunteer experience and skills provision. As a result it has taken on a number of lucrative contracts with the job centres in Grimsby, Scunthorpe, and Immingham as well as with the Humber Training Consortium to provide skills and training for NEETs via accredited courses delivered in conjunction with the Grimsby Institute.
