I have engaged with Youth Vision through a pupil on two occasions. On both, Youth Vision have been able to engage a young person who has opted to disengage with any other service and have managed to progress their life skills and, through this, their self-esteem.

Youth Vision is quite unique in that it engages with pupils over a longer term which allows for strong relationships to build and sustainable changes in behaviour. Any further support that they could provide beyond school would be extremely beneficial – often when young people leave, the supports fall away and pupils are unable to sustain their success/positive destination. If Youth Vision were able to continue work until a young person’s next step has stabilised this would greatly improve outcomes for young people.

This has been wonderful for our boys, learning about life outside Harmeny. Thank you to Sara and all the volunteers.

Adam has gained more independence and confidence. He has loved coming here and gaining survival knowledge. He has learnt his strength is more than he thought and that he can achieve if he tries and doesn’t give up. He has loved meeting new people and being part of a fantastic group. Thanks to Youth Vision for all their help and support and for helping Adam to see he has got great potential.

I get better at cooking and that makes me feel good. I am confident cooking at home for myself and other people.

Being at Youth Vision is better than being in the city – in the city I get bullied but here I don’t.

Jordon has loved every minute here. It has helped build his confidence with others. He has been much keener to be out and about and having a bit more space has been great for me.

We have worked with Youth Vision in the past and our young people have really valued the opportunity the bespoke timetable has offered them. The regular contact and dove-tailing with the traditional timetable has made a real difference to how the young people view their outdoor learning experience.

As a school we are looking for partners who can offer sustained opportunities for young people as part of a supported curriculum and Youth vision has offered this effectively for our students.

What I love about being a part of Youth Vision is working alongside everyone; there is always something different going on, with lots of different ideas being shared; it’s refreshing to meet people from all walks of life. It’s great to see the young peoples’ confidence growing.

Really enjoyed the experience. The young people that come to Youth Vision really get a lot out of it, as it pushes their comfort zone and helps them to explore their strengths in a non-threatening way that helps expand their horizons. I love, love, love it!
