Individual-Speakers-Quote

Jade Etherington was fantastic at the NCS Graduation on Friday 4th September.  The young people thoroughly enjoyed hearing about her experiences during the Paralympics and during her teacher training. Jade’s speech was very heart warming and inspirational for all of the young people attending. Jade was great at handing out certificates, taking her time to personally congratulate each and everyone of the young people receiving their certificates. It was an absolute pleasure meeting Jade and we would love to work with her again.
