As we fast approach Christmas after a busy 12 months, we would firstly like to thank so many Shropshire people for their essential contribution to SYST’s achievements.

SYST’s is fortunate to have several supporters, partners, Asystors, the SYST team, mentors and associates who have made a real difference in helping disadvantaged young people to start their own business and building self-confidence whereby they become financially and socially independent.

Secondly, I would also like to congratulate our Asysted Businesses on the progress they have made into getting their businesses up and running in difficult times.

SYST has recently celebrated its 7th Birthday by implementing two new high-profile programmes enabling SYST to reach and help more young people than we ever have in the past. We have made much progress in enhancing the range and quality of support and look forward to making further progress over the next year and helping more young people.

I would ask you to check out all that SYST does by visiting our recently launched website https://www.systbusiness.co.uk/ 

Finally on behalf of the SYST team, I would wish all our supporters a very Merry Christmas and to you and your loved ones a peaceful, healthy and prosperous New Year.

ROBERT BLAND, CHAIR of TRUSTEES
