  • Bronagh Gormley (Bud Club Programme Facilitator)
    Our group really enjoyed our time with Amanda and the recycling project. 
    We enjoyed how each week there was a variety of work and how they were able to see progress in their work. Amanda had a great way with the young people and each session was very enjoyable.

  • Eva (Bud Club member)
    I really liked doing the work with Amanda every week and I really liked my work I got to take home

  • Sarah (Bud Club member)
    I looked forward to working with Amanda every week and it was good that we used rubbish that we were going to through out. We learned how to make sculptures out of things we didn’t know we could. 

  • Jennifer (Bud Club member)
    I enjoyed these last 6 week working on our recycling project because I learned how to turn rubbish into something beautiful. It made me want to do this at home too. 

  • Sean (Bud Club member)
    Thanks to Amanda we made some really nice art work and decorations for our room in the Hub. I didn’t think we could make this recycling into something so nice. We had great craic along the way too.
