Harlington Youth Centre, Hayes

We have so many activities to do at the centre. There's basketball, table tennis, pool, a massive gym, and DJ decks. My favourite activity is basketball and we even had a special coach come in to teach us a while ago.

Next we're going to have a DJ-ing thing. A tutor is going to come and teach us music production and how to make our own beats. We're going to make music like hip-hop and R'n'B and I might do some MC-ing.The best thing we've ever done was our talent show.

We applied to the youth opportunity fund for £5,000 so we could employ our own workshop tutors. They taught us urban drumming, street dancing, beat boxing and break dancing.
