Nottingham youth club helped young woman away from a life of 'drugs and crime'

Aisha Derbi has a bright future ahead of her. Enrolled at De Montfort University in Leicester, she studies Biomedical Science and has a world of opportunities.

But her life could so easily have gone down a different path had it not been for the help of the Pythian Club. If it wasn’t for the club, she fears that she'd be “using heavily”, referring to drug use.

She said: “The Pythian Club has helped me get out the streets. Drugs and crime, being here has stopped me from being associated with those kinds of things. I know a lot of people still in that life but I needed to get out and, now, I’m just focusing on my career and education.”
