Hatch Programme Work Placement

“I found Community Foundation’s Hatch programme via a job site.
I saw it as a great opportunity to add experience to my CV and to learn more about employment.
Hatch was a nice experience as I’ve never done admin work before. I gained skills and knowledge needed when in an interview and what a good CV looks like. I liked the modules and pizza"

Holiday Activity Club

"I wanted to thank the foundation for the fantastic and well organised holiday club; my kids enjoyed it very much and said it was their best holiday club so far. I wanted to give my feedback as I believe this foundation deserves very good feedback. Thank you again for your effort and the memorable and fantastic summer holiday."
