This event was fantastic. What the young people achieved with this project shows that our young people are not necessarily lost to the serious situations they face in life and they can be encouraged to put their talents to better uses.
As someone who works with these young people I was extremely proud of them.
yes it was a very successful night i am one of teh youth offenders who was present at the night it was a very enjoyable event. It just shows something positive can come out of something negative.
