A group that supports vulnerable young people has found a home in Trafford. The social enterprise, N:GL, has set up shop in Stretford Mall.
The company offers free alternative mentoring and education services and will now be offering these from a new coffee shop and meet-up space in the Mall – the proceeds from which will all be pumped back in to fund N:GL’s services.
The space, known as The Sq, will provide a new community hub for the town, as well as job opportunities for the young people using N:GL’s NGage programme. N:GL was founded by David Schofield and Jaden Irving in 2020, who both initially taught in Pupil Referral Units.
