Where did you first meet?
Cathy I met Tom at a local park through another youth worker. It was a shaking of hands at first, which was quite formal for youth work. He told me he had got some funding and that he wanted to put on a music festival in the area. I said I'd help and it went from there.
Tom After meeting, Cathy said she would help me and my friend with the event and we arranged to meet once a week.
What kind of youth work are you involved in?
Cathy I normally do detached youth work out on the streets and I also run a Friday night project. But young people are at the centre of what we do and if they want to do a particular activity, we will try to make it happen. That is what happened with Tom - he wanted to put on an event so we worked with him to make it happen.
