    1) Providing facilities at reduced rate to support learning

    We hire out our IT Hub at a reduced rate to the Adult learners to allow them to learn in an environment with wifi, laptops, ipads etc. A member of our team has also signed up for the training.

     

    2) Supporting youth forum

    We also hire out the IT Hub at a reduced rate to the Youth Forum to allow them to learn in an environment with wifi, laptops, ipads etc.

    We have assisted in giving the Youth Forum a live project to work on the Pentland Groups Newsletter to allow them to have a complete live project for accreditation and certification.

     

    3) Reducing negative environmental impact

    We have closed a garage site as was deemed dangerous and are working on a strategy to improve this site to visual and environmental impact. We have upgraded 2 garage sites to improve the environmental impact.

    There is new signage for the garage sites to prevent cars for being abandoned on site therefore preventing any environmental damage this may cause
