Summary

At school I completed my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver award. whilst achieving this it helped my communication and teamwork skills. This also included volunteering within the community.

Also at school I signed up for NCS [National Citizen Service] which again helped with communication skills, this was one of my greatest experiences which resulted in the end with us building a sensory garden for the disabled within the community. Due to how much I enjoyed this, the following year I stayed on again just to help that years group with the volunteering stage in which we helped improve the landscape to the entrance of Chasewater.
