The centre is good because it's all just been refurbished after the floods last year. We've got new equipment and new computers so that helps keep even more kids off the streets.

My favourite thing about the centre is the fact we get to go on summer trips to places like Alton Towers and paintballing, which is what we did last year.

As well as the summer programme, I've been on a few residential trips with the centre. I've been to the Isle of Wight, Cornwall and Lincoln. We do things like quad biking but also things like sexual health education, which is all right too.
