Young People's Views

The good thing is going out and doing things I have never done before.

I get to go different places and my befriender is fun to be with.

It's good to have a befriender as I get some time away from my brother I also get on well with my befriender.

I enjoyed going places with my befriender without my family.

Who are the young people?

Young people who are vulnerable for a variety of reasons are involved in the project. Some may be experiencing problems at home or at school, some may have a physical or learning disability, while others may be adjusting to new situations or need a break from day to day pressures. Typically though the young people will be aged between 8 - 18 years and in need of extra support and adult attention.
