He is passionate about the impact Youth Work can have on young people’s lives and providing opportunities and support for young people to enable them to be the very best version of themselves.
After witnessing first-hand the impact Youth Zones have on young people and their communities, he was keen to provide that opportunity for even more young people across the country and his role at OnSide sees him focus on the opening of Horizon Youth Zone in Grimsby.
He will work closely with young people and the new Horizon team to ensure the Youth Zone has a successful opening and the best possible foundations to support thousands of young Grimbarians.
