We were delighted to celebrate the success and achievements of our children and young people yet again on Thursday 18th May 2017. Another excellent event well attended by young people and their families , staff and trustees and colleagues from partner organisations.
A number of young people delivered outstanding performances including Shiloh -rapping, Melissa singing a solo of Adele’s ‘Send my love’, and our very own A6 dance troupe who choreographed an excellent routine. They all just oozed talent and confidence which was so impressive. Definitely had the wow factor!
