“I really enjoy this programme because it’s fun and helps me learn in a way that actually works for me. It keeps me calm, teaches me about leadership, and makes me want to learn and try new things. It’s also really helped my mental health.”
"It has helped me discover my leadership skills and learn about project management. It keeps me calm, helps me manage my anger, and provides a safe space where I feel understood. The activities are great, the staff really get to know me and what I’m interested in and they make learning about the things I’m interested in fun and engaging.”
