The response from partner referral agencies remains positive. The challenge is to manage demand and capacity.

- 460 young people met the TM criteria, 72 young people declined the TM offer
- Of the 388 who have accepted the offer, 373 are receiving mentoring support

Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival
On the 8th-9th August Kelly Cranston and her team of young people volunteered at the Huddersfield Food & Drink Festival.
On behalf of us all here at Talent Match we’d like to say a big thank you to all from the Sandwell Hub who attended. Karen Hobson from the Huddersfield Partnership commented that, “the Talent Match Team in Sandwell are a credit to the overarching Talent Match Programme in the Black Country.”
Thank you for your hard work, conduct and enthusiasm!
