Trying to reach out for help

[Paul Sutton]

Hi  Yousuf

No problem,  just trying to take that page and not just take the content
word for word, I will try and see if I can contact a few local groups,
 there is the local young person partnership,  so will contact them and
see if they can pass on what opportunities are available.

I will go back in to the post later and see if I can make the contribute
link more prominent perhaps.
