David Dhesi, 15, Chesterton.
My parents don't have enough money to take me on holiday and I suppose that since neither of them work then every day is like a holiday for them so they don't realise that when school's finished for the summer I want to be like my friends and go away somewhere nice for a change of scene. I've been on the SureHeart Summerscheme every year since I was six. This year I've used some of the money I earned from my SureHeart placement in our local supermarket to put a financial contribution towards my place. There are about fifty of us in my group and we go away to the seaside with our SureHeart advisors. This year we're going to Bridlington in Yorkshire. There is some time for fun but mainly we do other stuff like social role play games and we discuss and evaluate how our parents are doing and whether we think they could do better. Some of it's made me realise how my parents do have a tendency to fail me and let me down but thanks to SureHeart's intervention on my part then I definitely notice an improvement year on year. I don't belong to my parents anymore. I belong to SureHeart. And SureHeart always act in my best interests. I do like to be beside the seaside, don't you?
