Through our Partner Schools Programme, we were able to engage with Charlie and help him to flourish both in activities and at school.

Joining us on the NCS Programme in 2017, Reuben started out as shy and hesitant but grew in confidence as he took part in the many activities on offer.
At his induction meeting, Reuben was nervous to join but was quickly reassured by Jade Hibbert, our Education and Inclusion Manager. Over the course of the programme, he grew in confidence and character becoming more involved in sessions and activities which was a far cry from the Reuben that joined us at the beginning.
Since his time on the NCS Programme, Reuben has become more independent and now works with us on a weekly basis as a volunteer in our Health and Wellbeing sessions.
“He is a massive credit and an example of what NCS is all about. He’s a massive part of his community and displays what social cohesion is all about. Reuben is his own character, who displays all the values that Shrewsbury Town in the Community are all about, he’s so proactive and passionate about everything he does” – Jade Hibbert, Education and Inclusion Manager
“He came out of the programme so much more confident and independent, he now feels part of his community. That’s the thing that we’ve taken out of the NCS programme, how the community took him to their hearts and made him part of everything, that’s how it should be.” – Christine Dunne, Reuben’s Mum
