CHRIS f, 30-45 Runs the youth club, and is a mother figure to all. She is sure of herself and her opinions, though sometimes this means she struggles to listen and find common ground with those she disagrees with. She talks to members of the club as young adults, not children and is protective of its members, however is not afraid to tell them when they are wrong. Her frustration with the threat of closure is the reason for her frustration and conflict with Val.

VAL f, 60+ Shares the youth club building to run a women’s group, which she is also very protective of its members. She is interested in other people’s business. She sees members of the youth group as noisy, disruptive and possibly a threat when sharing the building, and tends to speak down to them mostly due to their age. Val should not be portrayed as a villain.
