Prince'S Trust Midlands

Yesterday we celebrated #BlackHistoryMonth with a jam packed lunchbox learning for staff. We gave an insight into hero's from the past right through to the present, had spoken word artist Adaya Henry perform her pieces about being a Brummie, heard one of our youth ambassadors share their Prince's Trust journey and of course had plenty of yummy African and Caribbean food for everyone to try!

We had an amazing day yesterday cooking up a storm with food from The Real Junk Food Project Birmingham and help from HSBC. A fun day was had by all! A big THANK YOU to everyone involved 🍅🥕😋
