Heather Ridgway, ncn Head of School, explained: “The Young Mums, Dads and Carers Group has been set up to inspire, inform and support young parents and carers who may otherwise not continue with their education, and we are pleased to be working in conjunction with Basford Children’s Centre staff to deliver the programme.
Councillor David Mellen, Nottingham City Council Portfolio Holder for Children’s Centres, said: “It’s great to see partners continuing the drive to raise aspirations in the city and make a real difference to young people’s lives.”
