Outcomes

Next steps for YP are to continue to access weekly group activities which they are now regularly attending and thoroughly enjoying. The goal is for YP to build more friendships as they continue their engagement with the organization through their weekly activities.

There has been a visible increase in YP’s confidence since pushing themselves to access group sessions with different organisations. You can see a real sense of pride and achievement with their overall presentation when discussing such achievements.

Impact

“I love that I can talk to people about all of the things I have always been interested in. I have never been able to do this before”. (Quote from YP)

YP is now regularly attending weekly group sessions where their confidence will grow, and they are meeting new people their own age.

YP’s confidence has grown significantly since accessing group activities on a regular basis. This has been identified by parents, me, and YP themselves.
