When Gareth started College he was a very quiet and shy young man and with support from College staff and from working with his peers he is now maturing into a much more self-assured young man. Gareth is a residential student and has transferred the skills he has been learning in the classroom to the residence and also to his home environment in areas such as cooking, cleaning and shopping, including money management."
