We are really pleased to announce that Flourishing Families has taken on 3 new interns for the 2021/22 academic year! The interns will be involved in lots of different aspects of the charity showing off their skills and gaining experience with the FFL staff team! Here is a little more about them! Skye Hi! I’m Skye, an intern at FFL and a student at Leeds studying Environmental Science. I’m so excited to be joining children and families around Leeds on their journey to flourish, especially when I get to share all my favourite things with them along the way- storytelling, arts and crafts, and making delicious food! As a certified bookworm, I am especially looking forward to the storytelling projects. While I love going on adventures through reading, I am certain that, through FFL, I have embarked on a real-life adventure with a wonderfully caring and inspiring team of people dedicated to the welfare of the families they help. James Hi! I’m James and I originally come from a small town in the west of Northern Ireland. Having completed 2 years of a BSC degree in Food Science Nutrition, my passion is food and how healthy food can be accessible to all. I am most looking forward to applying my knowledge of food science and nutrition in a fun and interactive way, which will hopefully change a child’s attitude to healthy eating. Lizzie Hello, I am one of the interns at FFL, I will be helping out in the social media communications for the charity and assisting in the various clubs FFL offers. I have a passion for supporting children from different backgrounds through the different clubs FFL offers, I was a Fine Art graduate from the University of Leeds and outside my internship you will find me embarking on various craft projects involving crochet or my sewing machine!

“You saved Christmas for us,” Gemima said as we handed over four gift-packed stockings for her kids and three large bags of food.
We were thrilled and honoured to receive this prestigious award as part of HM The King’s Birthday Honours in November last year.
The Flourishing Families staff team is growing, and we're really excited to introduce to you our two newest team members!
