Dylan Buller

Dylan is a young person who transformed his life at the Young Persons Unit in HMP YOI Parc, by actively participating in educational and enrichment programs.

Dylan came to Parc at 16 years of age as a result of going down the wrong path which resulted in him serving a custodial sentence. After being excluded from mainstream school and a Pupil Referral Unit Dylan recognised that this was an opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to better himself.

During his time at Parc, Dylan has successfully turned his life around by working with the staff and the charity Dallaglio Rugby Works. His passion for sports has resulted in Dylan gaining coaching, mentoring, communication and teamwork skills.

Dylan has also been a driving force in trailing new activities for the young people at Parc. Including animal care, gardening, photography and music as well as working closely with the Dallaglio Rugby Works to run fitness and sports sessions for his peers.

On release from Parc Dylan has led new activities, secured a job as a trainee rugby coach and now works with other young people who are at-risk in the community to stay on the right course. Defying the odds of his background, he serves as an inspiration to many, showcasing exceptional determination and commitment.
