Every two weeks, I am trusted to walk a Dog called Biffy after school. I am trusted with a key to enter their property and lock up after when I am done. I have a great relationship with the owner and the dog.

I feed chickens and rabbits when the family are away, this involves different foods and putting them to bed at night. I have also been trusted to house sit twice, looking after their dogs whilst away - this included a puppy. I had a strict routine to follow, making sure they didn't wee in the house.

For the last six months, I have been volunteering with the Under 8s football team for my DofE Silver. This involved helping the players work as a team and Offering players advice and guidance on how to improve their technical skills. I was able to move around the different teams supporting all the coaches which improved my confidence around adults. The feedback at the end was that I was a real pleasure and help to the teams as an additional resource and developing my skills. I was flexible and adaptable and they were very grateful.
