Our local team the 'Spurs' kindly put together a bespoke training and employability programme, exclusively for our residents. The Great Grass programme delivered IT and employability skills to 11 men over 3 weeks. A tour of the football stadium in White Hart Lane, Tottenham and a visit to the Eden Project in Cornwall was also included. All those who took part enjoyed the programme immensely and had various tales to tell of the activities that they participated in. Participants were given lunch and awarded with a certificate on completion.
