Your contact details were passed on to me by my neighbour Craig, who has some business dealings with you. I have a grandson 14yo who I consider to be at risk. Craig mentioned there may be opportunities in gaming industry for young people. My grandson is a fortnite player at present and has played most other games out previously. For him gaming has been detrimental.
He lost interest in playing sport and gave it up, is often sleep deprived, his normal healthy diet has gone and he generally has little interest in anything other than gaming. I would certainly be interested in steering him towards a career or future that would regain some of his purpose and provide some sense of achievement for him.
