Earlier this year the National Lottery Heritage Fund announced a £2million investment to create 70 paid placements for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the natural heritage sector, to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Disabled young people are among those whose applications will be prioritised by host organisations.
There are placements all over the country with the nearest to Sheffield taking place in the Hope Valley. This is a Trainee Centre Assistant at the Woodcraft Folk’s Lockerbrook Centre site.
