Warrington Youth Club

Meet Zak and Nuvvy.

Zak has autism and has been helped by Warrington Youth Club 'Buddy Up!' programme, which is supported by 91Èȱ¬ Children in Need. Buddy Up! is a befriending club, meaning disabled young people can get out and about doing the things all teenagers do.

Mentor Nuvvy asked Zak to organise their Film Club. At first Zak was nervous and wasn’t sure he had the confidence, but within a few weeks he was choosing the films and inviting people along. Zak turned the Film Club into a huge success, and it helped him cope with his depression. Being involved with the youth club changed everything.
