Impact
The best way of understanding our work is from the young people themselves:
​
"I came to You Turn about two months ago, I come every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I enjoy the music project as I’ve never had another opportunity to play guitar, drums, keyboard, etc.
​
I’ve tried to work on my confidence with singing and performing in front of people, where before I came here I was very shy and rarely sang in front of anyone, but now I can perform easily and have fun doing it".
