Sarah said: “We are delighted to have reached this important milestone here at Futureworks NY!

“Our10th birthday is a testament to all the hard work of everyone involved as we certainly wouldn’t have done it without them.

With a successful decade under their belts, the Futureworks NY team has also applied for Charitable Status and at the time of writing, the team is waiting for their official charity number.

Michelle said: “Applying for Charitable Status is the way forward for us here at Futureworks NY. The last decade has clearly shown the need for our services in Scarborough. Our aims and outcomes include helping local learners from school age upwards, enabling them to acquire life skills, confidence, practical skills, and some qualifications in an environment that suits their individual requirements.
