Making a difference
Our parents’ words say it best. See how BYP is helping young people thrive.
“BYP helped my child become a little more confident.”
Claire Brown
“BYP members are like a little family, they’ve made my daughter fell so welcome and done wonders for her confidence.”
Heidi Parker
“Willow has been attending BYP for the past 6 years. Her confidence, talent, growth, and the friendships she has made during her time here have been invaluable. This is thanks to the hard work and dedication of all the staff members.”
Louise McCrone
“My daughter started BYP as a shy girl, whom I thought would never have the courage to take to the stage. She has gained so much confidence and skill through BYP. So much so, that without any other acting training, she will soon commence an acting degree. Thank you so much BYP.”
Pauline Aedy
“My eldest joined BYP as a teen. He is university and still enjoys acting and takes part in groups around him. I still have 2 sons that attend, Eisa and Mohsin and its been an absolute pleasure seeing then grow in confidence each year! The fact that they love going says it all!.”
Shugufta Choudhry
“BYP was a make-or-break moment for us. My daughter had attended many clubs but was always upset at drop-off due to anxiety. After her first session with BYP, that anxiety disappeared, and we haven’t seen it since.”
