Tuesday 3rd December was yet another successful celebration of the 12-week Prince’s Trust Team Programme. The team members celebrated what they had achieved within the 12 week course with family and friends.

The team were invited by youth skills organisation, My Spiral, to visit Robeco, an investments company, to take part in a dragon’s den style contest in which the team members had to come up with their own socioeconomic businesses inspired by three words, environment, community, and business itself, in an hour.
