Over the last 10 years The Boathouse Youth has taught me so much. I’ve learnt about community, friendship and how to create a good life for myself. Most of the time, we just have a proper laugh – whether we are canal boating, camping or just at normal sessions. What The BHY does is care by placing trusted adults into the spaces where young people want to be. That’s how I’ve become so mentally resilient. Basically, just come and get involved and see your life change.
