Milo’s Story

When I first started coming to Youth Club I used to be a waste of space. I used to spend all my money on drugs and food. I was a nuisance to the Youth Workers and my peers. At Youth Club one night they brought out the drugs box and I got to look at all the risks with one of the Youth Workers. This is when reality kicked in and I thought I don’t want to end up like that drugged up heroin addict sat on a park bench. I started to get to know my Youth Workers better and saw my mates still doing harder drugs and I decided to back out of it a bit. At Youth Club I started volunteering with the younger kids. I also helped with the cooking in the centre and I’m not gonna lie if i didn’t do that I would have been up the Park smoking. I was disappointed and surprised about what I had been doing. I am now more aware of myself and more responsible in and out of the Youth Club. I feel that talking to the Youth Workers has helped in my life changing type thing. I have matured more and take better life opportunities.
