Transcript

Hello, my name’s Keith and I first came to Bristol eight years ago. At first I found it a little daunting, because I couldn’t find my way around.

I also needed somewhere to live, so I went to a place called The Hub. They found me temporary accommodation. When I turned seventeen they found me a permanent flat.

Soon after, I was introduced to a place called Fairbridge. Fairbridge is a place for 14-25 years olds that does activities such as rock climbing, sports, personal development.

Through Fairbridge I met Angie, who told me about art+power.

I started going to art+power to develop my art. I like comics and animation. Hopefully I’ll be able to get into this area in the future.
