My social worker told me about Centrepoint Derwentside. I was scared andworried on my first night 'cos I didn't know how much support I couldget. Sunderland got beat the same day so I was already low but myflatmate was canny and the staff made me feel at home.
It was better than I thought it would be and now I love it. There's notone member of staff I don't like and I get stuff in Braille. I decidedto run the Great North Run for Centrepoint because it's something I'venever done before and apart from Sunderland they are the only thingworth supporting.
Bob, my support and development worker, will be running with me. Ifanyone would like to sponsor me, the web site iswww.justgiving.com/centrepointderwentside
