We are delighted to announce that we were awarded at the Charity Times Awards 2013, Outstanding Individual Achievement. The judges describing the award as `An amazing, multilayerd and passionate contribution to UK and European civil Society`

This was in relation to our project `Living and learning Abroad`, promoting Mutual Assistance, where by one marginalized group assists
another marginalized group to the mutual benefit of both groups.

This has manifested itself in UK young people often consisting of ex-offenders, former substance abusers, those in or leaving care assisting orphans in Bulgaria or Street Children in Turkey.

All UK participants are socially excluded, however, after participating on the project, benefitting from:

• The qualification City and Guilds in `Personal Development`
• The careers seminar
• The cultural experience
• Assisting those far less fortunate than themselves
• Considerable accreditation, Europss, Euro CV, Host country certificates, qualification

The participants have greater confidence, improved self esteem, better soft skills, are far more able to progress with their careers, in
fact 84% of those participating on the project progress upon their return, to education, employment or volunteering.
