Q. What was life like before 2nd Chance?
Before I met 2nd Chance my life was a constant battle of crime and drugs. I spent many years incarcarated with sincere intentions to change my ways, however my actions did not match my intentions.

Q. What was life like with the 2nd Chance Project?
2nd Chance assisted and supported me to gain my first sport related qualification, they also helped me (through their excellent partnerships) find paid employment and I was able to receive excellent advice. 2nd Chance were fundemental in helping to build my confidence and self esteem in the professional world, where my transition from a negative life style to a productive one, was for me, difficult in terms of my not feeling worthy due to my past.

Q. What are your plans for the future, and how did 2nd Chance help?
My plans are to develop myself as a fitness professional and sports developent officer. 2nd Chance introduced me to my current employer and now my plans are under way!!

Q. What would you say to other people thinking about getting involved with the 2nd Chance Project?
2nd Chance is excellent at supporting, guiding and advising. My first contact with them enabled me to create a vision as I was supported and guided in creating a personal development plan, this helped me realise that my goals I have set were achievable.

If like me, or for whatever reason, you are coming from a life with a criminal background you need to be serious about change. I learned and adopted negative behaviours through my life of drugs ad crime and 2nd Chance helped me massively to drop those old behaviours and start again by learning new constructive and productive behaviour.

2nd Chance, Thank you for assisting me to achieve success in not being sensless and being forever in trouble.

One Love

Mike H
