The programme, run by Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service, has space available for young people aged 16-25 to join.

The 12-week personal development course involves a mixture of group activity sessions both indoors and out, and includes a two-week work experience placement. The programme enables participants to gain the evidence required for the Prince’s Trust Employment, Teamwork and Community Skills qualification.

Prince’s Trust Team Leader, Debbie Harvey, said: “We are looking forward to the Team programme restarting after the January course had to be postponed due to Covid-19. The course is a great way to build up your confidence, develop skills employers are looking for and improve your CV to help you in your next step.

“We’ve got a packed 12 weeks planned, including lots of outdoor adventure and team building activities in the first two weeks, such as canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking and climbing, to get the group working together as a team.”

The course starts on Monday 17 May and will be delivered from the 3rd Poole Sea Scout Centre, Edith Lyle Hall, West Quay Road, Poole.

Spaces are limited to follow social distancing during indoor sessions. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Debbie Harvey, Prince’s Trust Team Leader, as soon as possible on 07500 066134 or email debbie.harvey@dwfire.org.uk
