Last month The Link celebrated its 2nd year of successfully working with 16-25 years olds, supporting them to get back into education, employment or training. What better way to celebrate than with a birthday party!

It was a great opportunity for existing partner organisations to come along and share in our successes. Also for those organisations not already involved with The Link, to see what we do and how they can work with us in the future. Some new partnerships were formed and future projects set in motion.

 

It was good to see so many faces at the party. It was especially nice to see some of the young people we have helped over the last two years. It was a nice surprise to welcome BBC Radio Gloucestershire who came along to speak to the young people. They shared how The Link has helped them, I was proud when I heard the broadcast on the radio the next day.

 

There was also an opportunity to showcase how we help and support young people. We were able to show everyone who came along how much The Link has changed over the last two years. These changes include us now working with the Big Lottery Fund and new building work. We have recently had the back rooms of The Link and the kitchen developed. This allows more space for us to support the young people.

 

I am looking forward to another successful year of working with young people, to help them to achieve their goals!!!
