 I have found the strategies I discussed with my coach have helped me through school and since. They have really helped me to make some of the right choices and deal with the difficult knock backs in life. Hanover graduate |

Graduates of Hanover programmes were keen to stay in touch and continue their personal development. So they set up Hanover Connect.
Activities are devised and run by the Connect Council (formerly known as the Student Council) launched in 2006 and made up of young people who have completed Hanover coaching programmes.
Council members undertake a range of activities, including speaking engagements at schools and colleges, which enable them to continue their personal development.
Hanover Connect produces a termly E-zine – click below to download previous editions.
E-zine 2 – spring 2007
E-zine 1 – autumn 2006
The Connect Council has big plans for the future, so watch this space...
