The aim of the scheme is to help us develop our social, time management and problem- solving skills. We spent a week at a youth hostel and played games to learn teamwork and trust. The other people were strangers at first, but we all became good friends and I am still in touch with them now.
The programme has helped me to build my confidence and I know that if I ever need help, I can go to the drop-in centre. I don't think I would have got through my exams without Weston Spirit's help.
