Gears+
On 1 August 2007 GEARS+ Ltd started business as a social enterprise. “This is an exciting time for GEARS+ Ltd and both the staff and the Board are ready for the challenges that are ahead” said Trish Bartlett, who was recently appointed as Chief Executive.
Since GEARS+ started to work from the Orchard Street premises in June 2005, over 500 young people have attended, many of them from the NDC area. As a self funding organisation GEARS+ Ltd will use any surpluses created to continue to work with young people from the NDC area, offering a range of programmes that incorporate basic workshop skills.
Programmes run for between six weeks and a year and include:-
• Metal Art
• Building Karts
• Cycle Maintenance
• Youthbike
• Jewellery Making
GEARS would like to encourage young people to help develop new programmes of activity and are keen to recruit a young person from the area onto the Board.
