On the 9th July I attended the Annual PACE Ceremony, to celebrate the achievements of the graduates of the Forest YMCA Practical Achievements in Creating Employment programme. I was joined by the residents of FYMCA, the staff and the stakeholders. The whole evening really opened my eyes to just how much hard work the FYMCA put in for young homeless people and how much effort they put in to improve the lives of their young residents. For young people these days it is incredibly hard to find a job let alone a good job or a dream job. So providing young homeless people with an address just boosts their chances in obtaining a career and improves their situation. As well as this, they also provide young people with the support they need to help them into employment, training or education. 
I felt very honoured to be at the ceremony to celebrate and support the achievements of the young people and was delighted to present them with their well-deserved awards.
I’d just like to thank everyone involved in organising this very special event, and a huge thank you to the residents, staff and trustees of Forest YMCA.
Good luck to all the young people and their success for the future.
