A LETTER RECEIVED: Dear Boys' Clubhouse,
I can't believe I am actually writing this letter. I never ever thought I would. My parents threw me out of home
when I was 21. A the time I was bitter but looking back it was not their fault - I must have been impossible to live
with. I spent some nights sleeping rough but then I heard that The Clubhouse had an emergency accommodation
shelter so I contacted Ari and moved in. Initially I was feeling at an all-time low and spent all day in bed but slowly I
gained some confidence and now I have a good job in the catering industry - which I always wanted to do and I
have a reason to get out of bed each day.

boys. In the past our boys have enjoyed graffiti and photography courses at their centre by Golders Hill Park. Together we are starting a new empolyability project. With some our clients looking seriously into employment options we are beginning a new course called ‘Ready toWork@. This will help them to create Cv's, teach them interview techniques and train them in the art of being a good employee. At the end ofthe 5 week course the boys will be assisted to find work placements.
In addition some of our more musically gifted clients are starting a new DJ course at the LJCC centre. It is hoped that this will help thembecome more professional and give them a platform to get work in the music world.
