Story
Having known about this charity through a friend who is heavily involved with Teens and Toddlers, I have been greatly impressed with the work they do. As many of you may know, I have a relation who works with troubled children in schools and to see the positive effect that Teens and Toddlers has on many young individuals is fantastic - it's a privilege to run for them and try to provide a small amount of funds young people can benefit from.
The charity runs 18 week programmes for young people disengaged with their education, and one area that I felt was a stroke of genius, and really appealed, was how they partner these young people with Toddlers of play school and pre-school age, giving them responsibility and a sense of belonging for both parties. I was also keen to know what happens after the 18 weeks; at this point the Teens can get involved with the charities Youth Leaders Group which helps with the next steps in life such as employment and university.
