November 25th -
The FFL team are really excited to welcome our newest member of staff, Kerry! Kerry recently moved to Leeds to join the team and bring all her expertise to the work of FFL!
So Kerry, where are you from? I’m from Cheltenham, but I lived in Oxford for 6 years before moving to Leeds.
What is the best meal you have ever cooked? Probably a chicken and chorizo pie or a chocolate fudge cake!
Would you rather be able to speak to animals or speak all foreign languages? Definitely speak all foreign languages!
What were you doing before joining Flourishing Families? I was working with children in care and their families in Oxford and performing in as many musical theatre productions as I could find!
What excites you the most about working for Flourishing Families? I’m glad to be able to support families in what feels, at the moment, to be a really tough time for so many. It’s an exciting thought to get to be part of a team building new projects to support the community around us. I also love meeting new people and can’t wait to get to know the families FFL is working with.
Did you know that one in five children in the UK don't own their own book? The cost of living crisis is hitting families hard this Winter; particularly for families in the most deprived areas of Leeds where access to books is becoming even more limited.
We are really pleased to play a part in shaping the Leeds Food Strategy.
On the day that the new Prime Minister is announced, Flourishing Families was interviewed as part of BBC Breakfast’s feature on the cost of living crisis.
The cost of living crisis is hitting hard from every angle. Families are facing the impossible choice between putting food on the table and turning the heating on.
