“Before I started coming to Youth Club, I didn't really have any friends to talk to, just adults really.
I live in a children's home. This made me feel really lonely- I had just been put into care and I felt really anxious about this. I then started coming to the session on a Friday night at the youth club. I have now made some friends since coming here. I really look forward to coming to the youth club- I like it because it finishes quite late and I like that. I find it easy to talk to youth workers because they are relaxed, open and friendly and I really like the quieter ones because I don't like a lot of noise and distractions.
Coming here has helped me a lot.”
“When I first started coming to Youth Club I used to be a waste of space. I used to spend all my money on drugs and food.
I was a nuisance to the Youth Workers and my peers. At Youth Club one night they brought out the drugs box and I got to look at all the risks with one of the Youth Workers. This is when reality kicked in. I started to get to know my Youth Workers better and saw my mates still doing harder drugs and I decided to back out of it a bit. At Youth Club I started volunteering with the younger kids. I am now more aware of myself and more responsible in and out of the Youth Club.
I feel that talking to the Youth Workers has helped in my life changing type thing.”
