Willy and Connor from the Citadel Youth Centre

The Citadel is a community-based youth centre which has been in Leith since 1980. Their building is in Commercial Street, where they've been based for 42 years. In this episode Jennie speaks to Willy Barr, the centre's manager, and Connor Muir, a 21-year-old Citadel volunteer who grew up attending programmes and clubs there. Willy and Connor talk about the history of the Citadel, and share their own lovely stories and experiences.  They also highlight the important intergenerational work that the centre does - the Citadel goes far beyond youth work.
