To help you get ready to live as independently as possible, your parents, carers and staff at schools and colleges have taught you many skills.
Things you've tried for yourself, like a hobby or youth club all add to these important experiences. Leicester has many activities to support your personal growth. Search in MyChoice for new things to do.
