Maria and Shona recently had the pleasure of attending the DFN Project SEARCH Conference in Birmingham. The event was a fantastic celebration of connection, collaboration, and the life changing impact of Supported Internships, all with a shared focus on transforming lives through meaningful employment opportunities.💚

We were incredibly proud to be presented with the 10 Year Milestone Award for our Musgrove Park Hospital Project SEARCH site, which reached its tenth academic year in 2024–25. Over the past decade, the programme has supported many young people on their journey from education into sustainable employment, helping to build confidence, independence, and long term opportunity.🌟

This award is a huge honour and a true testament to the dedication, partnerships, and consistency that have driven positive outcomes year after year. It stands as a beacon of best practice and reinforces the ongoing commitment to creating inclusive pathways into employment that genuinely change lives.📖

Daniel recently visited Coates Willow to explore the Jungle Book sculptures, accompanied by Sharon from Bridgwater Outreach, while community groups have been closed over the Easter period.

He really enjoyed the outing, taking his time to look at each sculpture. As someone who loves animals, Daniel was especially delighted by the elephant it was his clear favourite.🐘🌟

🌟 National Supported Internship Day 2026 🌟

We had such a brilliant time celebrating everything that makes Supported Internships so special. Here’s a little look at what some of our internship groups got up to…

🧡 Street Internship
Our Street interns spent the day out and about in Glastonbury and Street – chatting with local businesses, spreading the word about Supported Internships, and having tons of fun along the way!

🏥 YDH Internship
Over at YDH, the team had a great day engaging with staff and visitors around the hospital. They set up an information-collection competition, complete with a very tempting prize…

Anyone who left their contact details to learn more about Supported Internships was entered into a draw to win:

✨ 1 large orange chocolate Easter egg
✨ 1 Small Easter egg
✨Some Chocolate orange twirls

And of course, they decorated their table beautifully with bright orange balloons! 🎈

We’re so proud of all our interns, job coaches, and partners who celebrated with us.
