Emma's success.

Emma is a student at Park Lane Special School in Macclesfield and she recently completed a very successful placement at the British Heart Foundation shop in the town centre.

Emma worked with the one to one support of her Jobcoach initially but over the course of the placement she became more and more confident as she learned the work tasks and got to know staff and volunteers at the shop. As such, the Jobcoach was able to withdraw her support gradually and with this Emma became more and more independent.

Everyone was over the moon when at the end of the placement the Shop Manager asked Emma if she would like to carry on volunteering for one day a week, independent of the Bren Project's support. Emma was delighted and she will be volunteering one day a week from the beginning of the new school year in September.

This will help Emma to further develop her skills whilst increasing even more her new found confidence. Well done Emma!
