Testimonial Of The Month
Young Person
Where to start from?! Before dreamwall my life was boring, troubled, not exciting, hanging round the streets and that and trouble would call and I’d get into trouble a lot. I had a bad rep.
But when dreamwall came along it gave me an opportunity. I had a ruck with Brett on the first camp and then went up on a bench and when I was up there I realised that these were my friends, not my enemies.
dreamwall’s like a second home I think, even though I’m not in care I still think that. I thank dreamwall for turning me into a better person.
I got asked to be a Junior Leader-that’s the best bit! And I got to meet people from Southampton without the rivalry!
Parent/Carer
Has dreamwall had an impact on his life?
He always had good compassion but now its being put to great use! Working as a team member and helping younger people has done him a lot of good-being responsible and caring for others has had a real good impact on him. His temper is so much more controlled too!
Has he made any positive improvements to his life since being with dreamwall?
A lot! He really takes time to think things through, rather than jumping in with no thought. He is a lot calmer now too. Dreamwall has helped bring all the great things about him to the surface. He now shows a lot more consideration to others, putting others before himself. He now chooses not to hang out with friends that drink/smoke/take dope- he would rather do positive things!
What makes you smile if he talks about dreamwall?
Eating vegetables and other foods (spag bog etc) that he would NEVER eat at home – thank you brett! When he talks about the river walks and challenges we just know that there is nowhere he would rather be! Thank you all at dreamwall from very happy parents x
