  I have over 20 years’ experience as a youth worker, project manager and community artist in the Northwest region. I am a trained Choose to Change practitioner and deliver domestic abuse and healthy relationships sessions and run sexual health courses. During this time, I have worked with hard to reach and vulnerable young people that have experienced homelessness and poverty. I utilise my arts background when managing projects, delivering Agored Cymru accredited courses and fundraiser / community events. I believe ‘there should be services in every community for individuals that feel isolated to attend. Arts, courses, and social enterprise schemes are great ways of helping people get back on their feet and fulfilling their potential’.

    I have over 20 years’ experience in youth work, management, and educational workshops in the voluntary sector. During this time, I have worked with young people that have experienced homelessness and are hard to reach and disengaged. I have a track record of ensuring projects are delivered to the highest standard, within budget and able to lead teams on educational and health projects. My skill set is working with young people who are affected by poor mental health problems through self-reflection, routine and implementing positive coping strategies. I believe ‘young people should have access to high quality youth provisions where they can gain new experiences, raise aspirations and reach their goals.’.

Over the years I have led advisory roles within Local Authorities and voluntary sector, worked as a presenter and bid writer. I have taught English and drama in Primary, secondary and higher education leading INSET, managed staff and students with theatre projects; and lead a team of youth workers and grant applications in a voluntary setting. I believe ‘the arts are vital in adolescent development, not only to develop transferable skills but to be able to allow expression in a non-conventional way. It can be used to address issues within society and give people a platform to have their voice heard’.

I work with 1125 CIC as a non-executive director and offer advise based on my 37 years of teaching hard to reach young people. I retired in 2009 and specialised in PE, Maths and working with students that have educational and behavioural difficulties for High Schools in the North West, spending 23 years working in Warrington. From a background in PE I know how important extra curriculum activities are for young people, as it helps focus individuals to raise aspirations. I believe ‘young people can achieve any goals; they just need to surround themselves with positive influences and get involved in good opportunities that arise. You can do anything if you put your mind to it!
