A group of unemployed young people aged between 16 and 25 years old will be presenting the fruits of their labour at Parc Eglos School on Friday after choosing, planning and completing a community project.

The group, who are taking part in the Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service and Prince’s Trust Team programme, chose to develop a woodland area at Parc Eglos School in Helston.

As well as working hard to complete the project, they are also planning how they would like to present it back to the school and the community, and are inviting guests along to see what they have achieved so far.

The Cornwall Fire & Rescue Service and Prince’s Trust Team programme is a 13 week personal development course which aims to help unemployed young people develop the skills and confidence to move into employment, education, training, volunteering or apprenticeships.

There are team building activities and challenges, a week-long action packed residential trip and two weeks of work experience during the course as well the community project.

The group will also get advice on how to write CVs as well as gaining nationally recognised qualifications.
