TRAINING: Millicent Brown

THE NEW Testament Church of God (NTCG) is gearing up to launch a project that aims to prepare vulnerable young women for success through education and training.

The SHAPE (Supporting and Helping Young Women Achieve Potential Through Education) project will be based in Handsworth Wood, Birmingham, and will be run by a full-time manager and qualified volunteers. It will provide a temporary home for vulnerable young women, where they can receive training and gain valuable experience over a set period of between six months and two years.

The head of NTCG’s Women’s Ministries, Millicent Brown, is the project director of SHAPE. She said: “The women who come to us will be motivated, supported and empowered in order that they can develop positive attitudes and confidence through teaching and training. I am confident young women will have a life changing experience through SHAPE, where potentials will be realised and goals will be achieved.”
