“Fitzrovia Youth in Action has made an amazing contribution to my life. I don’t know how I would have coped without it. Apart from anything else, it’s taught me how to communicate with other people of all ages. I’ve also learnt about working together – and how great that feels… They helped me and gave me a better understanding of everything including myself. And I picked up so many skills.”
– Sohail Miah, previous FYA member
