Became aware of the scheme when i did a day release course at South East London College .Always loved sport and the outdoors, but being able to try new outdoor activities that I could never have the opportunity to try was amazing. Even though shy I soon made friends and trusted each one and we became a team.it gave me great confidence and a belief in myself.
I achieved my Silver but unable to carry on and get my gold ,as I was working full time. So glad I had
the opportunity after 53 years I still remember the great times I had and the achievements I made, learned to rock climb when terrified of heights,horse riding sailing,being part of local community groups.
.I am thankful for having this opportunity ,at such a time in my life , when I needed to believe in myself.
Having someone to spur you on saying , yes you can do this .
