YMCA Training Wythenshawe celebrate success

On Friday 8th July 2011, YMCA Training Wythenshawe celebrated the achievements of its learners at its town centre training location.

Paul Goggins MP was invited to present certificates to the young achievers from the STRIVE project and Post-16 Foundation Learning programme. 

The Lord Mayor of Manchester, councillor Harry Lyons JP, was also invited and presented qualification certificates to learners who had achieved on the pre-16 provision.

After handing out the qualification certificates, councillor Harry Lyons JP presented special certificates to certain individuals, followed by certificates and medals to the four teams of learners and their nominated staff members that had recently taken part in a very competitive rural orienteering team challenge.

Deborah Thompson, learner and student council member, then presented an unexpected token of appreciation on behalf of all the learners and staff to YMCA Training Wythenshawe's manager John Warburton, for his part in organising the rural orienteering event.

The Lord Mayor said: "It has been a superb event and I'm very impressed in how well the day has been supported by members of family, friends and other supporting agencies."
