A clear measure of success is when a client progresses to become one of the trainers. Howard has Multiple Sclerosis. When he arrived he lacked confidence and felt socially isolated but he is now a volunteer giving support in the gym and around the centre.
Howard is also taking part in the European Year of the Disabled project 'Train the Trainers.' This will involve him going out into the community to improve public perceptions of disability and then training other disabled people to be trainers too.
"The Resource Centre has given me confidence, enthusiasm and a future plan to look forward to, which I didn't have before," he said.
