Some of the people we’ve helped
Jade
Jade was a YMGT resident January 2001. Jade will be the first to admit that she hated living at Kilburn Court, resented the rules but by the time she had left, she’d made friends for life and counts her time as being the most positive. YMGT is fortunate as Jades career was in housing and she regularly comes back to visit. More recently she and another worker facilitated an 8 week parenting course in conjunction with Single Parent Action Network (SPAN).
Andrea
Andrea and Neveah came to YMGT in 2008. And moved into her own house in 2010. Andrea was YMGT’s budgetting queen and shared her shopping skills with all mums by way of our newsletter ‘How to buy a weeks shopping for £19.00′. These fantastic budgetting skills enabled Andrea to learn to drive, purchase her own furniture and still have change. Andrea wrote brilliant poetry and is currently studying at University.
Roseena
Roseena has always been focussed on becoming Queen of the Universe inspite of the many challenges her and Sufyan have had to endure. But for now Roseena is working in Media and Production and has recently returned from London after making a short film (coming out at the end of March 2011), as well as working on many other media collaborations. YMGT assisted Roseena in accessing child care and other support networks enabling her to realise her potential. Roseena is going to University in 2012 to study computer science in order to fuse digital and creative media. There is not stopping this woman.
