Oliver had a brilliant one-to-one baking session making cupcakes 🧁💙

He worked through the whole process himself - reading the recipe, weighing and measuring ingredients, sifting and mixing, counting out cupcake cases, baking and decorating.

Oliver was so proud of his cupcakes, and boxed some up to take home.

A great session building confidence, independence and life skills… and they looked delicious too! 😍

Our dedicated transitions service supports young adults as they take their next steps into adulthood, transitioning from school and college 💙

Our supportive, structured environment allows young people to build confidence, develop life and work skills, and take part in sessions that reflect their interests and goals.

Every journey looks different, and we work alongside each person to help them prepare for adulthood and achieve their own version of independence.

It’s been an exciting start to the year across our three centres! Here are just a few things we’ve been up to 👇

1) Corby members visited The Core At Corby Cube to watch Rapunzel, and we couldn’t resist a few photos with the stars of the show!

2) Donald and Tristram made a new sign for our Learning and Opportunities Hub in Kettering 👏

3 )JP tried pyrography for the first time and made a lovely gift for his mum.

4) We enjoyed a sit and stay fit session with Sara - staying seated while exercising using the rhythm of the music.

5) We had a very successful first music session with our Kettering volunteer Dan, using some new instruments.

6) We said farewell to our fabulous volunteer Helen, who has been with us for a fun-filled few months. She has a new job and we wished her all the very best 💐

7) Our Learning and Opportunities Hub has been a hive of activity, including a product design session.

8) We’ve also played lots of educational games in the hub, including time bingo - reinforcing and embedding our time skills ⏰

9) Our Corby science group explored density and checked out if objects float or sink, and why.

10) Also in Corby, our Journo Club worked on a new article - ready to be included in our monthly email newsletter 📝

We hope you’ve enjoyed a brilliant start to the year!

We’re looking to welcome new trustees to Teamwork Trust 💙

Our brilliant board plays a vital role in guiding our growth and ensuring we continue to deliver high-quality, inclusive support for our members.

We already benefit from a wonderfully diverse mix of skills and experience, and we’re particularly keen to hear from:

- People from minoritised ethnic groups

- Individuals with lived experience

- Those with expertise in commercial property or the legal profession

If you can bring a fresh perspective and would like to help shape the future of a values-led charity, we’d love to hear from you.

To find out more or express an interest, please contact our CEO, Helen Burdett-Wright, at HelenBW@teamworktrust.co.uk

Confidence, independence and real-world experience - that’s what Kali’s volunteering journey is all about 👏

Kali has been volunteering with RSPCA Northamptonshire Branch for several months, and she now does so independently, with minimal staff support.

She’s a valued part of the team, taking on responsibilities across customer service, stock management, shop maintenance and working alongside colleagues in a busy retail environment.

This placement has played a huge role in building Kali’s confidence, practical skills and independence, and it’s supporting her aspiration of one day moving into paid work in retail.

For our members, opportunities like this are an important step between learning and employment - and Kali is a brilliant example of that journey in action.

This programme has been supported by Adult Learning - Northamptonshire and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, helping create meaningful pathways into the community.

We’re incredibly proud of Kali and everything she’s achieved, and very grateful to the RSPCA Northamptonshire Branch for providing such a positive, supportive opportunity 💙

This will make you smile 😊🎶

As we were setting up for choir, Tyler sang along using his Makaton signs.

He’s never happier than when he’s rocking out and enjoying the music - such a lovely moment to capture 💙

Meet Kala, the Education Lead at our Kettering centre 💙

Kala plays a huge role in designing and delivering meaningful education and life-skills sessions for our members - from maths and money management to creative writing, craft and enterprise activities.

She’s been part of the Teamwork Trust journey for several years and brings care, creativity and enthusiasm into everything she does.

We’re proud to give a shout out to Extra UK, one of our long-standing outsourcing partners 💙

Through our partnership with Extra UK, our members take part in paid work preparing Clif Bar boxes - including sorting, counting, bagging and boxing.

It’s hands-on, real-world work that helps develop vital workplace skills such as numeracy, communication and task management.

Our members value this opportunity hugely. Being part of a team, working towards shared goals and producing high-quality work gives a real sense of purpose, responsibility and pride.

All earnings are reinvested directly back into the charity, helping fund trips, activities and experiences for our members.

Thank you, Extra UK, for being such a valued partner and for continuing to create meaningful opportunities 🙌

We’re on the lookout for a new home for our Corby centre 📍

We’re looking for an open, welcoming and accessible building in or around Corby that could become a modern hub for learning, activities and community connection for our members.

Ideally, the space would include:

- Good public transport links, so our members can continue with their independent travel training

- Outdoor space to support horticultural activities, including room for a polytunnel

- Space to support between 20 and 40 service users on any one day

- Office space for up to 8 staff members

- A quiet room for reflection and wellbeing sessions

- Car parking for up to 8 vehicles, including space for a future minibus we’re fundraising for in 2026

We own our buildings and would ideally be looking to purchase a suitable property, though rental options would also be considered.

If you’re a local business, landlord, organisation or simply know of a space that could work for a community-focused charity like ours, we’d love to hear from you.

Please get in touch or help us spread the word - your support could help us create the next chapter for our Corby members 💙

Meet Kylan, who joined us last September as part of his transition from college 💙

From the start, Kylan settled in well and has shared how much he enjoys the Teamwork Trust environment, describing it as warm, welcoming and friendly.

He’s talked about how supported he’s felt by both staff and other members, and how being part of the community has helped him feel included and at ease.

Before joining us, Kylan shared that the days he wasn’t at college could feel long, and that he sometimes felt bored and isolated at home.

But he’s made new friends since joining us and feels more confident in himself.

Looking ahead, Kylan has ideas he’d love to explore, including introducing gym sessions with other members, working alongside our staff team to help lead them, and even fundraising towards new gym equipment.

We’re proud to have Kylan as part of our community and we’re excited to support him as he continues to build confidence and take his next steps 🙌
