Tomorrow’s People team works it out!

The latest Tomorrow’s People team ‘graduated’ at a ceremony at Pincent Masons on Edinburgh Quay in Fountainbridge yesterday.

Most of the original twelve participants in the latest Working It Out – North Edinburgh programme have already moved on to pastures new – into work, training and further education – but stalwarts Danny, Donnie, Lewis and Tom were still there at the end and were presented with certificates at yesterday’s event.

Tomorrow’s People Task Force Leader Heather Law, who supervised the team, produced a short film which highlighted the group’s activities over the four month course – and they certainly put in some hard work, providing over 300 hours of volunteering!

Just some of the young people’s activities include: moving three tons of sand to fill a sandpit, ten weeks of training sessions with Edinburgh Rugby, painting and decorating, army training, producing a mural with National Galleries Scotland, planning and interview sessions with international law firm Pincent Masons and helping Community Action North to transform Muirhouse Shopping Centre for Christmas!

The event, kindly hosted by Pincent Masons, offered an opportunity to celebrate all that commitment and hard work – well done, guys!

A new batch of recruits will join Tomorrow’s People in January, but Danny, Donnie, Lewis and Tom and their team-mates will certainly be a hard act to follow!
