"I joined halow in September as Finance Manager. I am so glad I did! My day-to-day work of paying bills, raising invoices, running the payroll is not just number-crunching – the young people are in and out, I hear all the victories small and large from them and from our impassioned staff delivering the services, and see so clearly the effect of halow’s work. This relatively young charity has plenty of room for development; I am loving the opportunity to inform that."

February is Fantastic for the Building Futures Group
|
|
|
The Building Futures Group have had a very busy February! They have visited the Surrey History Centre, volunteered their gardening skills with the Growth Team, made pancakes and healthy smoothies, taken part in a low ropes course with Surrey Outdoor Learning and Development and had an app sharing session where young people shared useful apps for their phones. The young Peer to Peer mentors who support those on the programme have received lots of great feedback. One mentor has helped members of the group make huge progress in the weekly gym sessions, such as using a machine they would not have tried before- a great achievement!
