During the first 2 weeks of the holidays, alongside our Summer Programme, our Youth Development Team worked full-time in Notre Dame School. They worked alongside the school to deliver their Summer Transition Programme.

As with every school holiday, our kitchen was kept busy with hot and cold food being prepared throughout the holidays, to keep our young people well-fed! But when you add it all up, even we were suprised but just what we got through…
Thank you so much to you and the Positive Futures Team. The girls have had a truly amazing summer. The activities have been so much fun and after a very challenging time this year they have made lovely, new friendships. You do an amazing job thanks again.
