We also run a supported internship in partnership with Lea Green and Gulliver’s Kingdom as the employers. This is a rolling 1-year programme which typically supports a small group (around 5) Derbyshire young people, aged 18 to 24 years and with an Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) to prepare for paid employment.
