December 9th -
This term we have been thrilled to start our latest Enhanced Volunteer Programme! We
have gathered some of our brilliant volunteers to meet as a group, get to know each other
more and build on skills that underpin their volunteering experience. So far, we have looked
at topics such as hard skills, soft skills and working with children. Many of our volunteers
have been a part of our FFL groups and clubs previously, they have seen the difference that
it has made and now want to give something back.
Susan joined our enhanced volunteer group this term and told us:
‘I like enhanced volunteering cos you meet new people, you can support each other and you
also learn new things’
We’re thrilled to welcome the latest additions to our team, Tabitha, Papaya and Josiah, our Graduate Interns, and Helen, the latest member of our cookery team. We can’t wait for them to showcase their experience, expertise and enthusiasm! Let’s get to know them a little better…
“Before this group, I felt like a nobody. Now I feel like somebody.” This was the answer 8-year-old Evie gave when asked about the difference our Activity-Based Mentoring Group had made for her. This sums up for us why we do what we do. Everyone deserves to know that they matter, whatever their circumstances and challenges.
We are immensely grateful to everyone who has contributed to our slow cooker appeal.
What a great term it has been at FFL! We have been busy delivering our various groups and programmes around Leeds. Our families have loved coming along to the groups and have benefitted hugely from the activities and support from the FFL team.
