It’s hard to believe that just last summer I was still in Prison but that today I’m in a job and helping other young adults to achieve their potential.
Talent Match Black Country secured continuation funding through the National Lottery Community Fund from April 2019 to March 2022, to target and work with at least 600 young adults aged 17 – 29.
To enhance the project further, for a 12 month-period from Nov 2019 to Oct 2020, West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner allocated additional funds to support a further 100 young adults across the Black Country with an offending background to receive individualised mentoring support to reduce their reoffending, gain skills and ultimately accessing training, education and or employment.
