"Fundamental
has been doing amazing work in the former mining district of Wakefield,
reaching out a helping hand to young people in crisis. They not only
look to reintroduce young people that have lost their way back into the
community, but they also endeavour to support the family of that young
person. Fundamental is one of a small number of local charitable
organisations that really supports the young people of today, offering
counselling, activities during the school holidays, training, and much
more. It's great to see a charity providing great services for young
people, their families and communities in such a positive and fun way."
