Tina & Sam attended the Going On A Bear Hunt Networking Event, by Dartford Council, on behalf of @ellenorcharity. This event will exhibit 30 large & 30 small bears across the borough. We have pledged for a small bear, and if successful, our interns will help to design the bear.

A few weeks ago, it was arranged for all of the interns to take part in a First Aid Course, where they learned to do CPR, use a defibrillation machine, and how to care for choking, bleeding and burns. All of the interns did amazingly well!. #FirstAid #CPR #LifeSkills

Supported Intern Lewis just wrapped up his first year of pre-internship at St James Primary!. He’s been lending a hand to the school caretaker twice a week, and for his final project, he transformed the computer room with fresh paint and new furniture. Here's to year 2!

Mikey has not only been working at his placement throughout the year, but has also been learning to drive!. Earlier this month, Mikey had his first driving test, and he only went and passed FIRST TIME!. We are so incredibly proud of your Mikey! Well done!

Interviews can be scary, especially when you're neurodivergent — which is why we invited @UKLearningShop to hold a workshop on Interview Techniques for our Supported Interns / LSE Clients. Huge thanks to The Learning Shop for such an engaging and productive session!

F2E had the honour of hosting Hugh Rayment-Pickard from @PTIEducation. As a social impact statement expert, Hugh led a workshop for F2E and stakeholders, including @medway_council, employers, @FortisTrust Trustees, and parents. Everyone involved had such a productive morning!

Our Supported Interns have been learning how to identify different parts of a shirt so they can iron it appropriately. Sessions like these are amazing opportunities for the interns to learn what it means to be a responsible and working adult.
