On Friday 12th October the West Mercia Transition to Adulthood pilot project, delivered by youth charity YSS, hosted a visit by two local Members of Parliament, Daniel Kawczynski MP (Conservative, Shrewsbury) and Philip Dunne MP (Conservative, Ludlow).
 
Both MPs took the opportunity to hear at first-hand about the experiences of the young adults who have taken part in the pilot programme, as well as their views on issues such as the challenge of securing employment as an ex-offender.
 
Following the successful meeting, further events are planned to help connect employment opportunities in the region and young adults with an offending history, something both MPs have undertaken to support.
