‘Thank you so much Roy for running the pancake session (face to face session during Covid). He needed pushing to go but came back much happier and said it was great fun, and wow, you got him to eat something. He’s not eaten since Saturday (two days) so that’s a big relief. You are helping restore his confidence.’

‘I have been fortunate to witness the rejuvenation of Kennington Youth Club over the past six months and I am so pleased for the local community that it is back up and running. The leadership have taken the club into a new phase and I hope that it continues on its current trajectory towards new growth. The club has a great energy and positive atmosphere about it and I always enjoy visiting the club and working with the leaders. Oxfordshire Youth is proud of the partnership we have with Kennington Youth Club and hope that it continues well into the future.‘
