‘I really believe in the power of play, and that it is integral to not only children, but the development of our future generations and wider society. I hope to raise awareness and spark inspiration in other to enhance play opportunities for children and enrich playwork practice.

In my job, I used many of the skills I learnt to advocate and support children’s play. For example, delivering parenting courses around time, permission and space. The qualifications that I have achieved have led to employment opportunities for me and therefore in turn improving my family’s welfare.

CVSC have provided me with ongoing support during both my volunteering and employment within the third sector as well as access to ongoing learning and development. I never thought I could do something I feel so passionate about, enjoy and believe in as well and make a career from it.

Take a leap, you never know who you could meet, what you may learn, and where it may take you!

“A fabulous example of gaining direct experience and inspiration through volunteering, which then led to paid employment, a win, win journey!
