August Trainee of the month

Nico Potter started on our Accelerate Programme on the 26/06/2022. At first Nico’s attendance was very low but then he started to enjoy the Centre and the Project more and made loads of friends. Nico smashed all his Barriers and Personal Goals and completed a Qualification while only being here for a short period of time.

Trainer, Joan said the first time she met him that he was a “wee charmer”. Nico also had amazing problem-solving skills and always tried to motivate others and help his team mates out. He was with us for a short time before going to College but said we helped him “grow in confidence” and “calm down a bit”.

We are wishing Nico the best for his College experience and all the best for what the future holds for him. He has a lovely attitude and personality so we are sure he will do well.

August 2022 News

Breakfast Club

At Right Track we offer a hot breakfast and lunch to all Project participants. Young people are supported to work with staff – mainly Amyjane and Kaitlin, to help make the breakfasts and lunches. Eating is pretty popular, cleaning up is less so!!

This year we have introduced the use of air-fryers and George Forman grills and soup-makers alongside our ever-popular toastie and panini-makers!

Lunches are varied including burgers, wraps, toasties and paninis, pasta, chicken wings, pizza etc and chips of course! Although these are much healthier made in the air-fryer!!

Preparing our own breakfasts and lunches has proven to be much cheaper and ensures that our young people not only have hot food during the day, they are also eating healthier options. Many of our young people struggle with eating in public for a variety of reasons and many have very restricted experiences of eating well. The provision of breakfasts and lunches is of huge value to our young people and a large part of what we do is introducing young people to new eating options. This is a hectic but hugely beneficial part of our days!
