  11. Corey “I am not the bad person that I might look on paper.” “I have had opportunities to do voluntary work before that I wasn’t been too keen on, but I went to the Ability ice skating session and enjoyed myself helping people out. It’s a good feeling. “It was strange at first because I was seeing people who are different to me. A lot of them looked depressed and angry, but then when they were skating around I could see them smiling and laughing.”

  12. Nathaniel ‘I had wanted to get any job just to get some money. I had never thought of an actual career, but this came up and now I want to do this for ever. It happens a lot that I go home after a session and feel good that the kids want to come back the next week because I have helped them enjoy it.”
