Summer programme for 16-18s

Our summer programme was an exciting opportunity for young people aged 16-18, living in Salford who are not currently in education, employment, or training.

Throughout July and August we hosted a number of free sessions where young people could learn new skills, meet new people and build confidence, helping them prepare for their next step.

There was also up to £100 in gift vouchers available based on attendance.
