Club Manager Irfan Shah, who helped support the event said, “The aim of the show was to provide a platform for talented young people but also for young people to experience how to organise and run an event. Money well spent by the government and we as the leaders of groups, parents and the young people need to emphasise to the government that, this must continue”

16 year old, Youth Committee Member Sadia Kayani described the opportunity provided by the YOF as “An excellent experience, I feel very proud that I was able to contribute in an event such as Hidden Youth. The message behind it was to show how, we the youth of today are not all how we are portrayed in the media to be. We have talent and I feel the show was a great success and the turnout was over 300, much larger than expected. With the new found skills and confidence I hope to continue with events like Hidden Youth”.
