WHAT YOUNG PEOPLE SAY
I have come a long way and the staff who have been here have seen me grow. I am becoming more confident. I didn't really talk to anyone, now I have made friends and talk to more staff/people. Coming to my Youth Zone has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I now regularly reach the top of the climbing wall, attend a gym and participate in external men's mental health group walks thanks to a project they did at the Youth Zone.

Attending the Youth Zone has helped me to look to the future in terms of my aspirations and helped me get back into sport and try different things. This is because I have had great support from staff which has made a positive impact on my life. It also helped with choosing my potential career in sport because I got to speak to an actual player and ask them questions.

The gym at Youth Zone has really helped with my fitness, especially with the different sports from football to basketball, to badminton. Everything has really helped me become a fitter person and has made me mentally stronger too.
