DAY WITH CUMBRIA COMMUNITY FOUNDATION



10.30AM
Meeting with Deb Muscat, the Grants Development Officer for the above. We visited PITSTOP Project at Barrow in Furness.

P.P.B. is an approved provider of alternative curriculum being both an approved Centre for the open College network as well as Oxford, Cambridge and Royal Society of Arts Examination Centre. I was very impressed with what they do. They provide "real world work" for the students. I was delighted to remember that this was something that had been helped with funding by The Princes Youth Business Trust some years ago. So much enthusiasm and hard work goes into this most worthwhile project.

12.00noon
We visited a Supported Housing Project in Barrow in Furness for young people at risk and homeless, aged 16 - 25. A very down to earth form of help and encouragement for the future.
