Free Course With Life Changing Experience For 16-24 Year Olds

Young from Beverley between the ages of 16 to 24 are being sought to fill the last few remaining places on a free action packed course that includes a life changing experience.

The 12 week programme, Catzero, will be held in Beverley with those taking part set to enjoy a range of activities that help develop skills and build confidence.

Pete Tighe, a Programme manager with Catzero, the organisation running course said;

“There are a few places available to take part in the programme. To qualify participants need to be from the Beverley area, between the ages of 16 and 24 and not in Education or Training.”

“We are offering activities three days a week to that will boost participants confidence, communication skills motivation and most of all resilience.”

“The sessions, which we deliver over the region will see participants take part in activities such as Rock Climbing, Sea Survival and Dinghy Sailing.”

“While all this is fun, most of all, participants get a lot of one to one support to help them achieve their potential.”

Delegates on the course will see how well they have developed as they use those skills when they set sail in a yacht, something Mr.  Tighe says is life changing, he said;

“All of the group will have the opportunity of a 12 hour sail on the Catzero 72’ Challenge yacht with some of the group undertaking an eight day sail to possibly the Orkney Isles.”

“This is no holiday, those on board will carry out all of the tasks such as cooking, cleaning navigation and actual sailing of the yacht. They will do this on a 4 hour on 4 hour off watch rota until they get to their destination.”

“This fantastic experience is tough but is no doubt life changing.”

Starting on Monday 6 February the course will be based at St Nicholas Church Hall. Anyone wishing to participate should contact the office on 01482 333305.
