“The Full Monty”

The 'Joining Hands for Brighter Futures' project aims to engage with and support young people to consider their current and future employment options and to gain the basic life skills in order to enable them to start working towards their long term aspirations.

The projects aim to raise the personal expectations and aspirations of the target group using a range of methods and equip the beneficiaries with skills that can continue to be built upon once they have completed the project. Literacy and Numeracy will be delivered in an innovative way ensuring engagement, by utilising subjects that are attractive and interactive to the target group.

Free your Mind

Free Your Mind is a sessional programme, ten hours in total, aimed at raising self esteem, discovering passions and using these to redefine life choices.

If you are a woman, stuck in a rut, a great mother, daughter, partner, sister or friend - yet doubt WHO you ARE - you need to come and join us on this journey of discovery. Take time out to think about YOU, WHERE you are going, WHAT you want out of life and HOW to get it. A powerful and emotional short course, in familiar local surrounding, run at convenient times, with holistic support and total discretion.

We would like to hear from you if you are an individual that would like to register interest , or if you are a group that feel you could benefit - we may be able to access funding on your behalf.
