We talk about the impact of 'our funding' but we're merely a springboard. Impact is bourne from the courage and kindness of people and I witnessed that last night in abundance. Heartfelt thanks to all involved and huge respect for these young people @Jubileegrantham

[Ruth Copleston @RuthCopleston]

What a way to end a 5 year project! Privileged to have been on this journey with you @Jubileegrantham seeing young peoples confidence, skills and bonds grow year on year. An emotional night for all
