TFCF are pleased to be supporting Grow Gardeners. A scheme offering paid work experience and training for young people in Sheffield who are at risk of long-term unemployment.
Under the supervision of a gardening team leader, each young person builds a range of gardening knowledge, improving their employability and soft skills. Each week all of the teams come together for a Farm Day. A day of training and tasks to experience working in different teams and stretch the young person’s range of skills in plant care. Grow’s aim across all of their programmes is to promote wellbeing, develop employability and reduce isolation in the young people they work with. |
The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a challenge for any young person. For those with hearing loss it becomes doubly difficult so it is with great pleasure that we will be funding Phoenix, based in Stevenage Hertfordshire, with their ambitious plan to guide a group of young people in their quest to achieve their Bronze standard during the course of 2022.
