Jewel, Youthwatch volunteer

Jewel

I began volunteering with Youthwatch as I needed a place for my works experience but the more I got involved, I’ve come to really enjoy the work being done and all the experiences I am gaining.  I’ve really enjoyed all the workshops and training opportunities, plus the visits to care homes and hospital.  I really enjoy getting to know the healthcare industry and potential areas of work for the future.

In my spare time I like doing arts and crafts, drawing, painting and knitting. I find it very therapeutic and peaceful for my mind.  I also like cooking/baking and experimenting with new things in the kitchen. I don’t like loud noises or any sensory issues that trigger me.

I started volunteering for the Healthwatch because I needed work experience and Healthwatch was the perfect place for that. Ever since I joined Healthwatch I have been even more confident talking to children and adults. I have attended free training , lectures as well as others.

I love volunteering, reading and singing and I dislike noisy places.

I am volunteering with Healthwatch because I need the work experience, love helping out and my experience with them has been amazing.

have participated in lots of events including the Kids Sara Project. I have gained more knowledge from the free trainings and talks.

I love watching movies, cooking, volunteering, laughing and gisting (engaging in chat or gossip) with friends.

I dislike negative energy.
