Down at my club - Knighton Youth Centre, Powys, south Wales

Lauren Morris, 13, Knighton Youth Centre, Powys.

I started coming to Knighton Youth Centre when I was 11. My brother Adam introduced me to it. It is open two nights a week during term time, and I come on Thursdays.

The first activity I took part in involved making life-size models of sheep using renewable resources, which was a lot of fun and featured on the local news.

The day trips are exciting too. We recently went to Alton Towers and I went on two really high rides. I don't like heights, so I felt really glad to have done it.

Over the summer holidays, the project runs a programme called Powys Extreme. As part of this, I helped to organise and took part in the local carnival.
