    Youth Leadership Manager

  • Profile

    My role is to manage the IGNITE team whose role is around supporting young people aged 18 to 30 to get involved in their communities and become future leaders.  We work with a large number of young people some wishing to generically volunteer many others now wishing to run their own events and social action projects on a wide variety of issues. So no day is ever the same.  I also work on the Anglian Water FOG campaign and sit on their committee around customer vulnerability.
