I hope that you are enjoying the new year after a lovely Christmas festive season with family and friends.
In this issue we have exciting news about the establishment of Melton's first innovative Youth Mobile Outreach Service.
Since our last edition, we have made significant progress on the Hope Street First Response Youth Service in Melton (Youth Refuge). Hope Street has been proactively working with Brand Architects and the Project Control Group and we aim to make an announcement on the builder’s appointment in early March.
I look forward to continuing our truly meaningful partnership that will provide workable, compassionate and protective interventions and solutions to assist and empower young people and young families, as well as local communities to provide an alternative to homelessness.
Best wishes
Donna Bennett
CEO
