🌿 Boulderig and climbing at Burbage Valley Thanks to Endeavour Youth and Community, our residents and Peer Connector Project group enjoyed a trip to Burbage Valley for a day of rock climbing and bouldering. Climbing together gave everyone the chance to problem‑solve, support each other, and celebrate small wins as a team. It was a great reminder of how powerful shared challenges can be for building trust and strengthening relationships.
Inspiring mornings at Skills Street ✈ On Tuesday morning Andy (Life Skills Worker) and Mary Ann (EET coach) attended the Networking Breakfast at Skills Street. The morning was a brilliant opportunity to connect with likeminded businesses, organisations and members of the community to discuss the opportunities that Skills Street can offer. We had a chance to explore their facilities and discuss their progress so far, as well as plans for the future. We have come away feeling inspired with ideas for how we can support those in our community.
