Jahzyah’s story

Jahzyah wanted to share his story to show how much of a difference Centrepoint has made to his life.

His early life was challenging, and he had very little stability. He was in and out of different care and foster homes from the age of four. However, when Jahzyah turned 18 he moved into supported accommodation with Centrepoint. That’s when his life started to change. He grew in confidence and became more independent. He got opportunities to get involved in different activities. “I remember going on a trip to the Science Museum which was pretty fun because I really like science”. 

Although Jahzyah really enjoyed science it was acting that was his main passion. “I came to the realisation that I hadn’t given the time to think about what I really wanted to do in my life. I stopped to think and realised I wanted to try out being an actor”.

The stability and support he received from Centrepoint helped him get closer to realising his dreams. The team helped him identify internships and apprenticeships, including a placement with a theatre. And now he’s just been accepted into drama school! He’s so excited for his future.
