    Pushforward work with those young people that others have given up on. Those that don't fit the mould of traditional education and need to be engaged differently. We use conversational education, trauma informed therapy and a practical approach when engaging young people and encouraging self belief.
    We provide a specialist intensive provision for young people in a mentoring and skills development capacity that will reengage and spark an interest.

    Formerly No. 105, prior to 1891
    In 1865 No105 was Charles Jefferies linen drapers
    By 1900 Arthur Pash had taken over the shop and he was running it as a Boot and Shoe makers but recorded in the Kellys Directory of 1932 it appears that Stead and Simpson had moved in and were running their Shoe store from the address. Stead and Simpson carried on here till the late 1960's and while they were here they knocked through to No114. In 1998 the building was taken over by the Crossing and in 2016 the whole two buildings were the Access Community Trust.

    I started my work life at 113 High st when it was one of three shops in the town owned by Stead and Simpsons shoes, started work on April 1st 1968 under Vera Grant who taught me all I know about footwear and accessories and more importantly how to greet and serve customers,something a lot of youngsters could do with learning today
