'I love being at the Living Room - spending time with the young people and with my team mates.
I am mother of 3, grandmother of 1 and once upon a time I was a physiotherapist. I’ve been involved here since it began in 2011.' |

'I love that the Living Room provides a safe, fun and supportive environment where young people have the opportunity to discover their true identity and purpose.
I have a passion for music, sports, cooking and reading, and I enjoy sharing these hobbies - and life - with the young people.' |

'I have loved being apart of the Living Room team. It's a great, safe space for young people to be themselves. A great balance of deep chats and fun and laughter can be found here. I have 10 years of experience working with young people. I used to work as a Level 3 Nursery practitioner as a Room leader; I'm now a building manager, children’s minister and youth worker. I'm studying plumbing on the side and love Marvel, Star Wars and video gaming. Board games are pretty cool too!'

'It's amazing that The Living Room is over 10 years old! I love how it provides a safe environment for young people to be themselves, grow in relationships with others and be creative. Its also a place to burn off some energy (physical or mental) playing the sports/games provided.
I am a local myself, having 4 grown up kids -one of which also volunteered at the Living Room which helped with her studies at the time. Come along and see!' |

'Having worked as a youth worker and play leader in previous jobs, being a volunteer at the Living Room allows me to share my experiences with the young people who come to the youth club. I also believe that the opportunity to be a positive role model for these young people is an honour and a privilege.'
|
'Since I started volunteering at the Living Room, not only has it been such a blessing working alongside the other team members, but participating in sports, games and getting the to know the young people has given me my youth again. I look forward to more joys and blessings awaiting all of us at the Living Room in the future.'
