  I know I've said it more than once on here, but the Work-Placement I was involved in a year ago now, worked very well and would have continued had Government funding for it not dried up.
  
  The youngsters were learning skills and disciplines, and getting out of bed and going to work; that act alone was breaking a strong cycle of inactivity. They were beginning to feel valued and worthy.
  
  I must be honest it didn't work for all of them, but you never will get 100% success, but it was a very good succes rate.
  
  It hadn't been going long enough and so when the funding stopped and the work-placements stopped, so did their learning and so they felt let down again.
  
  It will be very difficult for them to trust a Government project/scheme - any Government, again and teh Governmment only have themselves to blame. If it had carried on for say two years, then we would all have reaped many benefits, not just the youngsters.
