Groundwork hosts the scheme in the borough and it comprises a 16-week personal development opportunity for 16 to 25-year-olds.

A key part of it is working with others in a team to build confidence, while improving the local community, learning new skills and feeling more motivated.

It is also possible to gain five weeks’ work experience in a job if participants want. The certificates were awarded during a ceremony at Wigan and Leigh College.
