About David

The Good Shepherd Centre is a Secure Unit for vulnerable young people offering them positive life experiences and a strong education. David has worked consistently hard with the young people at the centre, helping them to achieve a number of awards and also increase their knowledge of the environment and the different plants and produce they can grow. He has been an inspiration, opening doors to a world these young people have never seen and giving them key citizenship skills to prepare them for the future.
