"It gives the young person a sense of worth, that someone wants to see them for who they are, not because they are being paid to do so but, because they care."

"My young person knows I’m there because I want to be. Sometimes their whole world can change, and they look forward to seeing a familiar face."
"I do not think you can ever underestimate how a small act of kindness can have a dramatic effect on young people and how that might change their future for the good."
"Change Grow Live and similar organisations enable people like me to give something back to their local communities and have a positive impact on people's lives, which is hugely rewarding."
"I feel very lucky to be able to volunteer with young people through Change Grow Live and I am really enjoying all of it. When I first volunteered, I just knew I wanted to offer my support in an area that I feel very strongly about but I genuinely didn’t expect to get so much of it."
