His Probation Officer came along (to the review) and just said how he’d been transformed, how he made eye contact with everybody when he came into the Probation Office now as well as the Circle and how she thought he’d been a transformed character… physically his body language was more relaxed and comfortable and engaging, he brought Easter eggs for the Volunteers at the last
meeting as a goodbye which was a very positive sign and socially adept, I’d describe it as just the clunkiness just seemed to go from him.

I think the really significant one for me was at the beginning in interview, he said ‘there’s no way I’m ever going to work, there’s no way, I’m not capable of work, I don’t want to work’, blah, blah, blah and at the end he was actively looking for either voluntary or paid employment and I just thought that was fantastic really.
