“Growing up in an environment that didn’t have a lot to offer, Grange Boys & Gils Club and its opportunities really helped broaden my horizon…they helped me when no one else would. I don’t know where I would be now if the centre hadn’t been there for me.”

They’ve given me the opportunity to express my musical ears and to give me opportunities to work alongside youth workers and industry professionals. The opportunities I’ve had here, I wouldn’t have had anywhere else. It gave me a chance to see what I could have as a career in music.”

“I knew how important Grangetown Boys & Girls club was before, because I never had to worry about what I would have to do in half-term and I always knew my daughter was learning new things and interacting with people. But the Coronavirus food service became more personal, the relationship is much deeper, the appreciation is much deeper. It is like a family, a deep-rooted community belonging. It’s not just a youth centre, it is a community belonging and safe-haven. I am really happy, appreciative and I am really grateful.”

"Grangetown Boys & Girls Club for the children is home from home. I say that they are my son’s second family. The staff, the encouragement, the mentors, the group work.
Young males growing up in the urban community, they can see there’s more to life than the environment we’re living in. There’s opportunities and it makes their minds more focused, you live what you learn. When you go through the doors at Grangetown Boys & Girls Club it’s like a safe haven. The club for me has been a life saver.”
