The Prince’s Trust Team Programme based at The Manchester College’s Fallowfield site is currently looking for worthwhile projects in the community for its students to complete.
Perhaps there’s a local youth club or community centre in need of refurbishment or an area of land or community garden that could do with a makeover.
Not only will the students plan and carry out the manual work they will also raise the funds needed to purchase any materials/equipment needed.
The community project aspect of the programme begins in week 3 (7th October) and continues through weeks 4, 5 and 6.
The format would be as follows: Any organisations, groups etc. interested in securing the services of the team would need to put together a ‘proposal’ and present it to the young people. They would then discuss the merits of each proposal before coming to a final team decision. This enables the young people to be involved from the beginning and encourages ownership of the project.
The Prince’s Trust would like to hear any proposals during week 3 with the final decision being made on 10 October.
The Prince’s Trust Team Programme is a 12 week personal development programme aiming to equip local young people aged between 16-25 with the skills, qualities and confidence needed to progress into employment or education.
If you are aware of any groups in the community who would benefit from this service contact Glen Hobbs, on 0754 524 0951 / 0161 257 3963, or email: [email protected]
