While working in construction, Daryl was also training to become a football coach on the side – but he needed to find a team to coach.

He was introduced to a group of BCHA service users by his friend who had been helped by the service whilst in prison. Through working to create BCHA FC, Daryl realised his passion for working with young people and got more involved in BCHA. He initially become a volunteer and he’s now a full time Project Leader at Bournemouth Young People’s Accommodation Services.
