Artist Logan, who is a second-year intern, said: “I would sit in my room doing artwork ranging from dark art, scrap modelling and Celtic jewellery.
“At the moment they are helping me overcome my own personal challenges and well as the usual challenges of day-to-day life.”
Logan and his fellow cohort of interns recently held an exhibition at Poole Lighthouse to showcase their skills.
He said: “It can be overwhelming, being an introvert. I’ve always kept my arts and crafts to myself and never really shown it to the public before.”
Mr Amey added: “It’s about everybody feeling valued and if you do have life challenges not being steered down a particular path.
“It’s such a unique opportunity because nobody really teaches self-employment skills.”
