Kieran joined Yep! with our valued partner Argyle Community Trust (ACT). The perfect partner as he has a real interest in sport with a long-term goal of becoming a physiotherapist.

At this point he was really struggling with his mental health, motivation and how to move forward. He was supported with 1:1 mentoring by Morgan an Employability Tutor with ACT. During the Spring/Summer Kieran and his tutor attending fitness sessions at a gym which he really enjoyed, and he also had support with online learning to gain his functional skills qualification in Maths.

He was so motivated by Morgan that he wanted to continue working with ACT and he started focusing all his energy on applying for the ACT Post 16 Football Programme!

We are very happy to say that Kieran is now a full-time student on the ACT Post 16 Football Programme. He is thriving in the setting and finally feels like he has his life back on track.

“The 1:1 mentoring support with Morgan was the best thing that could have happened to me. He was very supportive and treated me like an adult. Morgan was a great mentor and provided empathy when needed. Very reliable and would be there not just to help solve problems but give me the tools to solve my own problems independently.” Kieran

“Since the first initial meeting with Morgan and Caitlin, it has been like a weight of stress and worry has been lifted. Now seeing him thriving in a supportive setting makes me so proud. We would be lost without YEP! and ACT” Kieran’s mum
