Delivering training in good relations, personal development and employability has been vital to the lives of the young people taking part. Skills development is another way of improving outcomes for them whether that is through driving lessons, forklift lessons, or work experience placements with local painters, plumbers, builders and shops.
“We are giving them the opportunity to explore career choices. We have five young people who have gone to university,” he said.
Nigel says being on the streets six evenings every week and going into schools is all part of the work they need to do. There are 24 spaces on the project for young people and to date they have worked with nearly 70 since January 2017.
