Parent of a young person who attends the club
"Your support helped him grow and make steps forward. Laburnum has helped him to be less isolated and have access to his peers.
In a way it has helped us to survive as a family."
Parent of a teenager who attends Youth Club
"It really is a wonderful environment for young people to be working out friendships and conflict, as well as developing so much in the sport, in leadership and in confidence. To have achieved so much as a young teenager is amazing!
My child has been through so much and through many struggles, LBC continues to be a "happy place" for them. Thank you for being there and providing valuable space for them to talk things through."
Young person at the end of the Summer holidays
"Thanks so much for all the support you have given me during my time at Laburnum. I have really enjoyed spending time here!
Over the 2 years I've been coming here, I've learnt so much, not just to do with boating... I've made friends for life. I can't wait to come back next year!"
