💪Great to see Poppy on #Gladiators!
Her role is essential in helping young people with not only physical wellbeing but also discipline, teamwork, and resilience.
These skills can directly impact better decision making in everyday life, reducing the likelihood of reoffending.
📺 Recognise Poppy from @BBCOne's #Gladiators?
Poppy’s role isn’t just about fitness – as a Physical Education Instructor she’s helping young people at HMYOI Wetherby build valuable life skills to make positive choices & create a brighter future.

Did you know, that at Feltham we have @samaritans Listeners?

A joy to show Lord Ponsonby around @OasisRestore & to celebrate all across government - justice, health, education - and the team at Oasis who’ve worked so long, and so hard, to turn the vision of a therapeutic secure school into a reality for young people in the justice system.

Last month a young adult on release on temporary licence joined @3pillarsproject & a young person from @HMPWerrington to take on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge (in awful weather! 🌧️) . The experience built valuable life skills such as teamwork & leadership to aid rehabilitation.
