The project is now well and truly in the delivery phase. Black Country Talent Match opened for referrals in Oct 2014, since October the project has received and processed on average 60 referrals per month. The response from partner referral agencies remains positive. The challenge is to manage demand and capacity.

- 460 young people met the TM criteria, 72 young people declined the TM offer
- Of the 388 who have accepted the offer, 373 are receiving mentoring support

Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival
On the 8th-9th August Kelly Cranston and her team of young people volunteered at the Huddersfield Food & Drink Festival.
On behalf of us all here at Talent Match we’d like to say a big thank you to all from the Sandwell Hub who attended. Karen Hobson from the Huddersfield Partnership commented that, “the Talent Match Team in Sandwell are a credit to the overarching Talent Match Programme in the Black Country.”
Thank you for your hard work, conduct and enthusiasm!
