✨ We wanted to share some wonderful feedback received for our Restart tutor Leigh ✨
One comment summed it up perfectly:
“Everyone raves about Leigh.” 😊
We have received consistently positive feedback from customers, many of whom shared that they initially felt unsure about attending a course. However, from the moment they arrived and met Leigh, they immediately felt reassured and at ease.
As one learner shared:
“As soon as I walked in and met Leigh, I knew I was in safe hands. The way the course was delivered instantly put me at ease.”
Participants regularly describe Leigh as a true credit to Northern Rights, praising her professionalism, supportive approach, and ability to create a welcoming learning environment. Many leave feeling confident, reassured, and eager to return for future courses.
We are incredibly proud of the positive impact Leigh continues to make and grateful for the care and dedication she brings to every learner 🌟
We’re proud to be supporting Sodexo with their seasonal recruitment for cleaners on their student living contract this summer.
Together, we welcomed Sodexo to the Northern Rights office, where they interviewed more than 20 of our Restart participants for exciting seasonal opportunities. We’re delighted that plans are in place for **20 job starts**, offering **13 weeks of work across the summer season**.
Our team worked closely to identify suitable candidates for these roles and host the interview process, helping participants showcase their skills and potential.
As the next step, we’ll continue supporting successful candidates with their right-to-work checks and ensure a smooth transition from Universal Credit into employment.
A fantastic example of partnership working to create meaningful employment opportunities and support people back into work.

💚 Last week, we took part in Mental Health Awareness Week 💚
To mark the week, we created an Action Wall – a space for colleagues to share the small but powerful steps they’re taking to protect their mental health and improve wellbeing. Because it’s often the little things that add up to make a big difference. ✨
We also wrapped up warm and headed outside for a chilly Move for Your Mind walk – enjoying some fresh air, a change of scenery, and valuable time connecting with one another. 🚶♀️🍃
While Mental Health Awareness Week shines a spotlight on these important conversations, mental health matters every single day.
If you or someone you know could benefit from support, here are some useful places to start:
💚 Every Mind Matters – NHS support with practical tips and a free personalised Mind Plan: NHS.UK/every-mind-matters
💚 Mental Health First Aid England – Learn how to better support those around you: mhfengland.org
