We have been busy working out our stats from last year. 80 young people and staff took part in programmes last year and the outcomes reported are an increase in motivation, confidence, resilience, positive emotion and calmness. 96% of young people feel more positive and calm about going into the world of work and have got jobs/apprenticeships as a result. 88% feel more motivated and confident after participating in our resilience programme.
