Free careers support drop-in sessions for young people in Hebden Royd
Hebden Royd Town Council has identified that a service that had already shrunk will see demand for help far exceeded than the resources available, resulting in significant unmet need.
Coun Rob Freeth, Mayor of Hebden Royd said: “Hebden Royd Town Council welcomes this opportunity to work in partnership with others to make a difference to young people in its communities.

The package of support is available for all 16–24-year-olds in the Hebden Royd area.
It will be provided by Sarah Bruce, a qualified Careers Adviser with over 15 years of experience working with teens and young adults.
As well as offering telephone and on-line advice sessions, Sarah will be available to see face-to-face at weekly careers drop-in sessions at Mytholmroyd Community Centre, 1pm - 5pm.
