St Edmunds Society has over the years provided immediate support and intervention for hundreds of homeless young men. More recently the Society has begun supporting vulnerable young people in developing their life, social and educational skills.
With a project grant from REDEVCO through LandAid they will be able to purchase tools and materials for their City & Guilds accredited Skills Development Project which teaches their young people trade skills such as carpentry that will lead to future training or employment. The project is already showing signs of success with three young people moving on to college, eight returning to school, fourteen progressing to alternative education and one achieving employment.
