We were delighted to welcome members of Oldham’s Local Inclusion Partnership, Executive Board, alongside students and staff from New Bridge College and Destiny Pathway, to POINT!

POINT has proudly commissioned the Destiny Pathway who have delivered some fantastic work, from photography and videography as well as digital artwork, and it was brilliant to see their incredible achievements showcased.

The visit was also a great opportunity to talk about Supported Internship opportunities and celebrate the talent, dedication, and, potential of all of our incredible children and young people in Oldham.

Thank you to everyone who joined us – we’re excited to continue working together!
