Pablo from Broadmead Court Mayday Trust is 21 years old and
has been living in Mayday accommodation for 1 ½ years. He thinks that the idea behind the changes is
good and can’t wait to see how they will benefit residents in their future.
Pablo would like to get further education and he is aware
that the staff of Mayday Trust can help him in achieving this by helping him to
look for relevant courses that are available to him. Since coming to Mayday
Pablo has been offered opportunities to take part in activities of interest to
him and has now been given the opportunity to set up an exercise club and is
looking at setting up a venue for this outside of the Mayday accommodation. He
is very excited about being able to take the responsibility of researching cost
of gym equipment and potential venues for the residents to use as a gym. He has
set up a workout routine for his friends to help them to achieve what they want
from the club. An example of this is one of his friends would like to work on
losing weight so Pablo has organised a programme for them to do which focuses
on cardiovascular exercises to increase the heart rate and burn the fat,
another one of his friends has said that they would like to strengthen their
arm and core muscles so he has set up a programme to target what they want to
achieve.
