A 12-year-old young person splits his time between two family homes, living primarily with his mother and spending alternate weekends with his father and stepfamily. While he does not attend school in this area, he visits at weekends and regularly attends the SNYE youth club.
Finding their voice: How SNYE empowers young people
One of our new members joined the Youth Council feeling very shy and unsure of how to speak up within a group. At first, they struggled to share their thoughts and often stayed quiet during discussions.
When Young Person A started secondary school, she found herself separated from her primary school friends and felt isolated and anxious. The transition was incredibly challenging, leaving her unable to eat and reluctant to leave the house.
An autistic young person joining the club initially found it difficult to interact with others and felt anxious about trying new activities. The Youth Worker dedicated time to getting to know them, listening carefully and making sure they always felt heard and valued.
Do you have a story about how SNYE Youth Club has supported your child, helped them gain confidence, or made a positive difference in their life? We would love to hear from you.
