14 Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) clients are well on their way to achieving the success they deserve.

They all completed a course which is designed to enable them to achieve their goals and aspirations.

The course is designed to improve skills including motivation and confidence as well as working towards securing further education, training or employment.
