Over the past 20 years Danny has been through various struggles which have led him down difficult paths such as youth offenders, YOI and eventually prison.
Danny joined our #NEWSA Jobs programme in November 2024 having spent time at HMP Berwyn in Wrexham.
During his time at the Academy he completed a series of courses ranging from Vocational Number to Mental Health Awareness and Level 2 Warehouse and Storage Principles. He also went on to pass his FLT counterbalance test first time of asking!
He has now secured paid employment with his local community programme in a role which will allow him to engage with people who are looking to develop their skills with a view to gaining employment. He is currently supporting young people in the community who are at risk of offending, men who have recently completed sentences and are about to move back to the area and community members who have barriers to employment.
George and Dan are 2 of the group he is currently working with and for the record both passed their FLT Counterbalance test today
Training REALLY does change lives…
