* All the young people who have not completed the programme will be given the opportunity to join another Stoke Challenge Programme and will continue to receive support from the Stoke Division Connexions team.
Connexions staff are amazed at the progress Gemma has made. Prior to joining the programme, her confidence was, 'at rock bottom'. She has never missed a day of the Programme and joined in physical activities such as canoeing, hill walking and rock climbing.
Nathan is 17 and was nominated for the Programme by a partner agency. He is looking to enroll as an Apprentice.
"The programme has kept me busy and out of trouble. I have enjoyed the trips and meeting new people. I am now looking forward to getting a good job and looking after myself' Nathan has a driving ambition to becoming a plumber. "
Both have a clear message to anyone thinking of joining the programme:
"Just join and make the most of it. You will meet new people, achieve new things and build up your confidence and self-esteem. Most importantly, you will enjoy it and have fun!"
