“It’s been wonderful to meet with past and present students today and hear about the wonderful impact of this project,” said Marion.“I’m from the area, so I know this hospital and I know you can’t swing a cat here without hitting a staff member who has come through this programme. She said: “I’m nervous, but excited! This feels like a really good opportunity to help people and make friends.”
She said: “The success of this project shows that when you give people the right tools and the correct support they can contribute hugely to the local community. “It’s a great example of partnership working. From day one all the different partners have worked really well together and that’s what’s made it a success.”
