“In most cases, participants come away after 12 weeks feeling like a totally new person.

“Over the course of the programme they meet new friends, gain qualifications, work experience and a range of life skills.

“We also spend time looking at things such as drug awareness, good nutrition, mental health and general healthy living.

“If you know someone that is between 16 and 25 years old, who is not in work or education, and ultimately, needs a bit of a boost - please get in touch with us as this programme could really change their lives.”

There will be two courses commencing in January with 12 places on each.
