Brooklynn was ground down by years of challenges disrupting her childhood, dealing with issues around homelessness, addiction, domestic abuse and suicide as she grew up.
Brooklynn was ground down by years of challenges disrupting her childhood, dealing with issues around homelessness, addiction, domestic abuse and suicide as she grew up.
She left school branded “unteachable” with extremely low confidence and growing social anxiety.
Brooklynn was determined to support her family regardless and joined the Foundation’s Prince’s Trust TEAM programme, attending every day for 12 weeks as she began transforming her life and the lives of those around her.
She transitioned to the charity’s NU Futures programme, building her employability skills and she was quickly offered two apprenticeships, choosing an accountancy role at a car dealership.
Brooklynn now has a bright future ahead of her, crediting the Foundation with changing her life forever.
