Case Studies - ‘Sam’

Sam was just 10 years old when he came to ‘The Marlowe’. He was angry, aggressive and unmanageable. Now he is 15, living in a foster family, working at his GCSEs and hoping to make the County Rugby team this year. He has a real chance of breaking the cycle of three generations of the care system and prison and instead, live a successful and happy adult life.

Case Studies - ‘Craig’

Craig was 15 when he came to ‘The Marlowe’. He was angry, violent, already well known to the Police and was on the periphery of inner-city ‘gang culture’.Thanks to a powerful, sometimes frightening relationship with the Unit Manager he gradually managed to see he did have something more to offer the world than a mouthful of abuse or a violent threat.

She was totally trapped inside her Autistic thought processes. Within 2 years of arriving at ‘The Marlowe’ she was going camping with friends and winning the ‘Most Improved Student’ award from her college.
