Meet Mark
Mark Griffiths, the CEO of RIC, faced numerous personal challenges as a single parent on benefits. While navigating the system, he discovered many disconnected processes and gaps due to organisations working independently.
Through his experiences, Mark has collaborated with various entities nationwide, such as Housing associations, Councils, Corporate CSR/ESG, DWP, BBO contracts, Social entrepreneurs, and Education. His goal has been to assist individuals in overcoming obstacles related to employment, inclusion, community investment, client sustainability, and fostering lasting positive transformations.
He has a proven track record in helping others to facilitate life changes. He uses a range of innovative and effective support tools to deliver his bespoke programmes and was shortlisted for a TPAS and National Housing Federation award in recognition of his achievements.
“I practice what I preach. I was a single parent, relying on benefits, and did not know how to move my life forward. As a result, I suffered from depression, stress, anxiety and lack of confidence. I realised that if I didn’t change, then my situation would never change. Luckily, I found the support and motivation that I needed to improve my life and achieve my goals. I now use my personal experience, skills and qualifications to help others do the same.”
