“I just wanted to express my thanks for the support you have given my son in the time he has been coming to you. As you know his journey through education has been incredibly trying at times and I’m grateful for the way he has been encouraged and nurtured at the Club”
“He has never had a day when he’s not wanted to attend and that in itself is a reflection of the good work you’re doing there. If it hadn’t been for places like The Hunslet Club then I don’t know what direction he would have gone in but thanks to the inspiration he’s had there he is now in the process of joining the Army and has secured a place at Leeds City College to study Public Services alongside his training”
“It’s better than any other school. The staff are loveable and sweet. They will provide help when needed, and they treat you better than anyone else.”
“They are very understanding.”
