Zoe’s story
At our annual learning celebration, we always invite a young person who’s recently finished their time with us to take the “alumni” slot and share a few reflections.
Celebrating Our Volunteers – Changing Lives, One Day at a Time
This national Volunteers’ Week (Monday 2nd to Sunday 8th June) we want to shine a light on the incredible individuals who give their time, energy, and expertise to help change young people’s lives—day by day, step by step.
Ashley’s story
This is Ashley’s story in her own words (we’ve changed her name and the image is not her!). She has made the most of everything we’ve offered her – learning, 1:1 support and help with applications.
New faces on the Board
We had a busy summer recruiting new board members and are delighted to announce three new appointments to the Board of Trustees* and a number of exciting appointments to our group of Associate Trustees** who work closely with the Chief Exec and staff team.
Community Fundraising – with cake!
Local man, Roger Francis, was due to celebrate his 80th Birthday at Sherborne Football club. Birthdays mean cakes and presents but as Tessa, Roger’s wife said, “When my husband reached his 80th, he told everyone he didn’t need or want presents so we decided to ask people to support a charity instead.”
Ready for work
Job interviews can be daunting for anyone and it’s natural to feel nervous. But, anxiety can prevent you from presenting yourself in the best possible light. To help our young people to shine we have been working on their interview skills.
