WeMindTheGap is due to launch their 4th Flintshire WeGrow programme this year. The programme will start on Monday 10th May, welcoming 10 young women between the ages of 18-25 in Flintshire.

WeGrow is WeMindTheGap’s full 12-month programme.

All allowing them to start climbing the steps into their future.
