Weekly sessions have been running at Redcar Youth centre. Whilst the larger group as a whole have not engaged as much as hoped at this stage, we believe they will get more involved when filming begins next week. However, one youth worker had this to say about a young person with Aspergers: “One young person is getting the benefits of one to one work with James at the moment but that is fantastic for that young man as he has trouble engaging with people usually and this has helped him begin to engage with more individuals within the group. He is actually initiating conversations with people now rather than being a passive member of the group! He has absolutely blossomed because of the work done on the one to one basis and its in no small part due to the work of James and his consistently patient and nurturing methods of working.” A fantastic outcome.
