Volunteering

  • In 2024, I worked abroad in Zimbabwe with my parents, with an orphanage my parents work closely, together we were able to provide basic essentials, sanitary products and clothing to children in need, whilst doing the volunteer work I was able to display my organisational skills by ordering tasks by importance and keeping to this to ensure all children received items.


  • In 2022, After completing my first week of NCS I volunteered for a charity with my group by participating in a sponsored walk to help raise money for young asylum seekers for the Baca charity, in this scenario I took the initiative of presenting an idea and this is where I displayed leadership in a group setting.
