When Del Ellis was growing up, he lost his way. Turning to crime, he was on the wrong path -a one-way ticket to a life of regret and pain for himself and those around him. Today he runs a successful youth outreach programme and charity, advocating for young people. How did he get here?

In this book, Del tells his story with searing honesty and directness. Reflecting on his former life, he explores the mistakes made and the lessons learnt while examining his own character, seeking reason in the contours of his life. With remarkable self-awareness, Del never shies away from the conflicting feelings and tensions that exist within us all.

Del managed to turn his life around, and doing so awakened a deep sense of duty to his community - he knew he had to give back and to stop others from making the same mistakes he did. Today, through YES Mentoring and Increase The Peace, he enables young people reach their potential and avoid a life of regret. This book is his inspiring story, told in his own inimitable voice.

AUTHOR: Delroy Ellis grew up in and still lives in Gloucester. He founded the youth charity Increase the Peace in 2008 and YES Mentoring in 2012. Delroy specialises in working with and supporting children and young people at risk. He has won many awards for his work over the years and is a former ambassador for the South West for The Prince's Trust.
