Updates
Hello and welcome to the new term,
We would like to thank Jack Kent (one of our ex-young people), who has recently carried out some public talks. These have focused on the impact of Reach & Youth Work on him and what he has been able to achieve from this. His focus is now on helping other young people, in particular, around our international work projects. His own development is having a real impact on other local young people.
March sees the launch of our second Reach Youth Work Academy programme. We have 3 members who will complete both a theory and practical based programme, learning the basics of youth work alongside our evening community team. Toby from the initial programme has now been employed as a part-time youth worker, and he will himself share some direct support and learning with our new cohort of learners.
Thank you to all the Reach students and staff who took part in the week-long shared assault course challenge in Bruton. It served as a fantastic opportunity for young people to work together and help each other at a time when many of them have become increasingly isolated. Also, a great example of making use of the rain and mud to get fully immersed in activities and play outside without electronic devices.
Once again, we would like to thank everyone surrounding Reach for all their support. We welcome visits from schools and agencies anytime; we are always happy to come out to meet you.
Best wishes for the term ahead.
Dan
