Youth Worker by trade still sneaking it in to local authority work but shhhh don’t tell the Tories! Also Wife, Roxy’s Human, Rugby player and lover of mountains
@AliceHoylePSHE 🎉👏 Well done! We’ve just got ours too….it’s a task and a half, so stressful. 19yrs working with YP, with colleagues and friends who are considered experts to help. I’m celebrating my child’s support and heartbroken for Parents and YP who don’t have anyone to take on that fight
@felicityward Not my story but 100% relatable
Kid from back door: MUM
Mum in living room: don’t yell from another room
Kid still at back door: MUM
Mum: mumbling to herself…he knows I’m not responding to that
Footsteps = smug mum
Kid from living room door: Mum I’ve got dog poo on my shoe 🙈
@JustinTomlinson @charlottenewton Why respond to the loss of a leisure facility with blocking a newer facility? You won’t let us have our questionably safe but very nostalgic pool so we’re not going to let you give us a lovely new snow dome that will provide lots of jobs?! 🤔
@AliceHoylePSHE @ShedsKatie That reminds me of when my colleague took home the youth club flip chart for family Pictionary at Christmas, only to open it up to a labelled diagram of a vulva!
@sarajcox I have a phobia of other people’s hair too and people think it’s super weird! I had a young person who used to wave her hair extensions at me 😖to get out of tricky conversations #youthworker
Since 2010, youth service funding in England and Wales has been cut by 70% which has resulted in reduced facilities for young people to spend time together safely.
Help us create safe spaces for young people.
