Team 100 Presentation

September 17th, 2009

Calling all past Wirral Metropolitan College Prince’s Trust Team Leaders and Team Members!

We would like to invite you to a celebration of 17 years of the Prince’s Trust Programme at Wirral Metropolitan College.

This is a huge milestone for the Prince’s Trust as Wirral Met is now the only place on the Wirral that delivers the Prince’s Trust Programme.

The Prince’s Trust Programme began at our Carlett Park Campus in 1992 with Team 1. We have now reached Team 100. It is amazing to think that there have been a hundred teams that have passed through Carlett Park’s doors and most of these people have gone
on to do amazing things!

This is a huge achievement and we would like to commemorate this momentous occasion by holding a presentation evening at the Wallasey Town Hall on the 30th of September 2009, from 7pm until 9pm.

For an invitation, please contact Sue Kennedy or Jason Savage please call: 0151 551 7813
