Sam's Profile

Sam has been a Youth and Community Worker for eleven years and has worked with young people in lots of different settings.

Sam's Tip
Plan one nice thing each week, that's just for you!
Ewan's Profile

Ewan is qualified in Youth and Community Work, and has worked in various youth projects and advice and listening services. Some of his specialist subjects are cruise ships, young carers' issues and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but he's happy to talk about pretty much anything, really. He is a staggering 32 years old and proud of it. He's just over 6 feet tall, probably drinks too much coffee, likes all sorts of music and is very fond of monkeys.
Ewan's Tip
Don't chop onions in an unventilated room. It'll only end in tears.
Claudia's Profile

Not so long ago, Claudia and computers were busy (and happy!) spending a lifetime together when suddenly, she realised how much more there was to life than troubleshooting networks and trying to fight hackers. After that she set about downsizing her IT skills and finding a new role - one that involved spending more time with human beings. So far, this has included music workshops with young prisoners and groups of students with learning disabilities. When not at a keyboard of some kind (piano or PC), Claudia can be found immersed in documentaries, biographies, more music, or searching the freezer for frozen Jaffa Cakes.

Susannah's Profile

Susannah has worked with children and young people in a variety of settings. She has also worked with adults with disabilities and their carers. Susannah has one child and has spent the past five years studying so understands how difficult it is to study and care for someone at the same time. Susannah loves swimming, reading and eating jelly babies (though not all at the same time) and believes you can’t watch too much Spongebob Squarepants.

If you're going to get locked out of your house don't do it when you're wearing pink stripey pyjamas.
