Yasmin's Constructive Placement
Yasmin Lamb clearly enjoyed her second Community Action Placement enormously. She found the East Cleveland Youth Housing Trust an "amazing intiative", in that it combines several objectives in the community, renovating local housing, providing low-cost housing to young people and providing young people with invaluable building skills. Yasmin developed new skills herself as she got stuck into plaster boarding and sanding skirting boards. She was brilliantly looked after by Sarah and Sean at the Trust and she found their leadership of the project inspirational.
Yasmin's lively report can be found here. It's a great read, with a heartening final sentence.
