Celebrations for Slough's youth offending team
Slough Borough Council’s youth offending team (YOT) is holding a special awards ceremony on Wednesday, January 9, at the West Wing, in honour of the hard work achieved by the young people involved with the team.
The ceremony starts at 6pm to 8.30pm and certificates will be given for achievements such as leadership, art competitions and completion of anger management courses.
The YOT seeks to prevent young people from offending and maximise their full potential by working with them towards becoming responsible members of the community.
Harvinder Bhachu, YOT student social worker for Slough Borough Council, said: “Many of the young people who come to us to develop their self confidence and respect in themselves.
“At the YOT we try to help them find their path in life and the awards ceremony is a way of celebrating each of the young people’s talents and achievements to date.”
Commissioner for young people’s service, Cllr Sean Wright, added: “It is always important to celebrate the successes of young people, but especially those who need more encouragement and guidance. I hope everyone enjoys themselves on the evening.”
