My role is to engage with young people by building relationships with individuals. I have experienced many challenges such as trying to engage with troubled young persons and to run my own events such as art and crafts workshops, which involved me having to create lesson plans, buy materials on a budget, create sample work and hand-outs and then present it to a group of young people. I also assisted with the Teenage book club.

Volunteering:

I am currently volunteering as a music and art support worker for Headway Trust Worcester, where I run activities for service users at the day opportunities centre. Headway is charity that works to improve life after brain injury; to provide friendship and support to families, a day opportunities service for adults with acquired brain damage and to educate on the nature and effect of head injury. (November 2013-present)

I am currently volunteering in a Computer Mentoring U3A workshop, running from September 2013-May 2014, helping older people use computers for the first time. This is a rewarding experience, to engage with individuals of an older age, where I have to remain patient and convey complicated information in simple ways.
