James’s Story

James has been coming to our Koolkats youth club for teenagers since it was first established in 2020. As well as enjoying himself at the weekly evening club, he’s attended the other social and leisure activities for the group.

When James first joined the club, he sometimes struggled with the new environment and became overwhelmed and frustrated. It was an adjustment for him. James was going through some changes in his personal and school life at the time as well, but he continued attending the youth club and started to develop some meaningful friendships.

More than 5 years later, James is still attending Koolkats which is now an integral part of his weekly routine. He continues to enjoy attending our other activities too – he’s always the first to book onto the trips and adventures we organise!
