Here's some pictures from previous activities and what young people had to say

"I feel a great sense of acheivement knowing that I've faced some of my fears."

"I've made new friends."

"I loved the power boat best and the worst part was leaving the centre, I wanted to stay longer."

"This has taught me the importance of group work - I used to be shy an did not have many friends, but now I like people around me."

"I am now more confident about trying other things that are new to me."

"I was proud of myself because I did stuff I never dreamt of doing - it really boosted my self esteem."

"I've never really enjoyed working in a team before, but the activities have shown me that problems can be solved so much quicker when you have input and help from other people."
