Andi

Andi is our latest role model to share his experiences …….

” I was born to a mother who had just left a residential home and she was 16. I entered care aged just 7 and excluded from school aged 15. I was addicted to drugs and exploited into crime aged 16 and sent to a young offender’s institution aged just 17. I then spent almost 4 years in custody between the ages of 17 and 23. I believe I have faced lots of challenges and yet still achieved a great deal in life. No matter how hard things seem at the time, our childhoods don’t have to dictate our futures.”
