PBIC is an organisation which puts clients first and they are very valuable in supporting the migrant community in Bedford and I am happy to be working alongside them.

Feedback from partners

Clients of ours who have been referred to PBIC seem to benefit most from succinct advice and guidance, with appropriate signposting. PBIC are efficient in the work they do and crucially empower clients to take charge of their own lives rather than creating unhelpful co-dependency.

Feedback from partners

PBIC works effectively in partnership with both statutory and voluntary (third sector) agencies and organisations and are very willing to work in partnership for any activity that furthers integration.

Feedback from partners

PBIC supported a family whose child was diagnosed with global learning difficulties. The parent became a client of PBIC so they were able to support the school with appointments, clarifying any concerns raised by both parties etc. As a result of this support we have been able to get a statement and extra support for this pupil.

Feedback from partners

Language support is a crucial area where PBIC can help. We come across many families who have English Language needs and this impacts upon most other areas of their lives.

Feedback from partners

An essential part of PBIC's work is based around social cohesion, which in turn creates opportunities for communities in Bedford Borough to come together and share cultures.
