On Friday we said goodbye to Aldo, our Supervisor at inMidtown.  Aldo's moving on to study for his teaching qualification, after three years with The Welcome People, but leaves his team in the very capable hands of Alhoussein, who's been promoted from The Northbank.

We're featuring this story because it epitomises what The Welcome People is all about.  Our founding principles of Trust, Pride and Camaraderie are captured here on camera - two people who care passionately about what they do.

Good Luck Aldo and thanks for everything. Congratulations Al - you really deserve it.
