“I started as a volunteer on our ‘Kicks’ programme, and now I’m full time and I love it. Engaging with young people around here is really worthwhile. Some can be a bit loud, a bit cheeky, and others can be really quiet. I work with all sorts of characters, and I’ve seen many of them develop from, say, 11-years-old to being a young man. That can be quite special. I try to be something of a role model, supporting them and helping them to develop themselves. Engaging with young people is the most important thing, showing that you care and that you can help.”
