Evan wins The Prince’s Trust Student of the Year! Since starting the Prince’s Trust Achieve course Evan has come on leaps and bounds! For various reasons Evan had been out of education since year 8, but the tutors would never have known that from the positive, have-a-go attitude they displayed from the get-go! Every piece of work that Evan has been given, they have put every ounce of effort into it. Evan has completed a range of work experience placements during the time on the Prince’s Trust course, one being at the Salvation Army, where they received amazing feedback from the mentor there. As part of the celebrations for the Coronation of King Charles III Evan was asked to lead part of a prayer at Durham Cathedral, which they did without hesitation. Evan also undertook the enterprise unit where they came up with the idea of selling hot drinks on an evening to parents taking their children to football practice. Again, with no hesitation Evan stood out in the freezing cold and raised money which they decided to donate to Women’s Aid.

Evan has hugely benefited from college life, which has given them structure and enabled them to meet new people. Evan has gained new friends within college, even though, at the start of the year, they were quite reserved and hadn’t previously had the best educational experience. Evan is always willing to help and offer support to other peers. In terms of Evan’s progression after the Prince’s Trust, they are planning to start the Public Service course at Middlesbrough College. Evan, massive well done on your journey during the Prince’s Trust Achieve course!
