FEEL GOOD FRIDAY

Posted 6th July 2021

We recently had a big Summer gathering and were so pleased so many young people turned up from a mix of cohorts! We played some football, shared lots of Pizza and had lots of Fun- even set up our own Marquee which the young people loved! (See pics) We also managed to secure a temporary base which offers outside activities with trained professionals  (for FREE!).

 I also recently enrolled one of my young men to do some work experience at my Families pub. He was out of education and work for some time and getting himself into some bother with police so this has been so amazing to see. He has now successfully done 8 weeks of work and been offered a paid position. We literally can’t keep him away- this is his first job…he’s like a new person! (see pics)

 We have also been spending some time with Joel and his evaluation group who will be coming down again next week to do some visits with us and young people. Caroline was able to join us for our Summer programme.

 Our Summer programme is now well under way and we have been spending lot’s of time doing lunch dates and days out with our YP now Covid rules have relaxed…We have been spending lots of time on recruitment and are excited we nearly have our next Cohort and have some amazing new young people who are so excited to join the project! Chloe from Cohort 4 did a fab job interviewing last week and was so confident and comforting for the newbies. We were so proud!
