| CONGRATULATIONS....
Helping young people change their lives |

| We
congratulate Ryan he is now one year clean of drugs.
He came to our Reconcile Project last year addicted to heroin and he was also homeless. We provided him with a place of safety, helping him create an action plan for his future and preparing him for rehabilitation. We managed to place Ryan in a Rehab Unit. One year on, he is clean of drugs and is building a new life. We thank Edges readers for supporting him in those early days. 
Luke has just joined our new Mentoring Project. He has just come out of prison. While in Lancaster Farms Young Offenders Institution, he showed lots of motivation. Our new project is giving him support in the community. We have just opened a new house for people like Luke who want to change their ways. |
 David
has proved he can do it. Thanks to an Edges reader we have been able to place him down in the South West. David has struggled with a heroin addiction for many years. We have walked with him through difficult times. Last year, due to drugs, he was attacked and could have easily lost his life. We were there to support him. It has been a hard journey. However, we managed eventually to get David ready for a Rehabilitation Unit. He spent a short time in a unit but then he was asked to leave. He came back to our project homeless but clean of drugs. We were able to place David with an Edges Reader 300 miles from our project here in Blackburn. He has now been clean from drugs for several months and is no longer homeless. He thanks Edges Readers for supporting him. |
 Duncan
has been with us for several months. He is on our mentoring project.
He came out of prison four months ago and we have supported him in the community. At the moment he is on a New Deal Placement with us. He is preparing for a H.N.D course this September. At the moment he is living in our new house. He thanks Edges readers for all the their support |

Please continue to support us in our work. You have helped many people change their lives. Every penny we receive is used to benefit others. |
