It’s an amazing place and has a really calm feel about it. Sean and Jordon have both gained so much from their experience here. This has translated into a better performance in the classroom. Thank you!

Lime mortaring and safe tool use were my biggest achievements and I would like to do traditional plastering and rendering as a career.

I enjoyed exploring at Youth Vision.

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

How to use tools safely will assist me in my adult life

The best thing about Youth Vision is you learn new skills and everyone has patience with you.

I liked being in the country because it’s quiet and I can run around.

Youth Vision is good; I’ve learnt a lot of things, like making fires. I only get these experiences at Youth Vision. It’s somewhere I can prepare food, which I like, and cook food for people.

Bailley began work with Youth Vision as an alternative to exclusion. Youth Vision was offered to Bailley as part of a mixed package of provision. Bailley enjoyed the his time at Youth Vision and engaged well with the supports there. Bailley was a young man who, although oppositional to authority, lacked confidence and a sense of self-worth. Bailley was genuinely proud of the work he completed at Youth Vision. I believe Youth Vision enabled Bailley to finish his schooling and to avoid what would have been a final exclusion.

Bailley went on to achieve 5 qualifications and moved from school into a positive destination.

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.
