“I joined The AHOY’s Activity Leadership apprenticeship programme in June 2014 and learnt so much during the year long course. I was bullied at school and I’ve had anger management problems since I was young. Then I started hanging around with the wrong people and getting into trouble with the police. At first I was really nervous coming to AHOY but everyone was so friendly and the atmosphere was so good that after a couple of days it felt so right and I felt at home. I now work for the charity as a full-time freelance Dinghy Instructor and it is great to be able to use my new skills to help others learn and achieve”
