she/her Programme Lead, BA (Hons) Working with Children and Families Northumberland College in partnership with the University of Cumbria I have been incredibly lucky in the roles I have held throughout my working life. I have worked with children & young people since I was 16 years old, taking on a wide range of roles including leading activity schemes, deputy managing a residential care setting, and now at Northumberland College in Ashington - delivering Higher Education courses for adults working with children, young people, and families. The opportunity to join Mortal Fools Board gives me more chances to support young people and contribute to improving their lives. Having lived in Ashington for almost all my life, I am passionate about the area and appreciate firsthand the issues impacting local young people and their families, and want to help address the inequalities faced by many. I am excited to see how the work of Mortal Fools can support this process and enable each young person to be the best they can be. I remain intrigued about the use of the Arts to help young people to maximise their potential, work through emotions, and feel positive. As a parent of a participant in Mortal Fools Youth Theatre, I’ve seen the impact and the importance of such projects to my daughter. It has increased her confidence, resilience, and given her the courage to perform publicly. If I was to revisit my younger self, the message would be clear - be you; you are absolutely enough, and you will make a difference. |
