  • Description

    Hi I'm Ollie 👋 I'm 24 years old. I love travelling to different places and meeting new people and I've been so fortunate to meet such lovely people in my life. I'm a pescatarian and love trying new food whenever I can, my favourite type of food is anything with rice! I studied Art at university and am also a trained carpenter. I love nature and one of my hobbies and interests is tree identification. I love to read books and am currently reading a book on Cambodian history. The reason I'd love to volunteer is I feel this would give me a more authentic experience of a countries culture, and a better understanding of how day to day life is for people. It also allows me to meet new people and share stories and experiences.

    Aswell as being an artist and carpenter, I have experience as a gardener and handyman (painting and fixing etc.). I'm a passionate and hardworking boy and I'd love to meet new people and help where ever I can! :)

    Hi, I'm Frankie! I'm a psychology graduate who has recently gained my masters in custodial leadership. I am passionate about people, including people's cultures, experiences, lifestyles and general wellbeing. I have worked in a hectic UK jail for the last two and a half years- striving to push the men under my care to begin to rehabilitate their lives whilst in custody. I have experience running group activities, games sessions , group learning experiences and general one to one meetings to try help people gain a greater understanding of themselves. Outside of my career, I love to be creative and draw and paint portraiture. I also adore second hand clothes shopping and spend lots of my time thrifting❤️ I am a big animal lover to, so would love any volunteer experience that centres around helping others and animals who are in need of care :)

    Hi I'm Ollie, an artist and qualified carpenter. I've been woodworking for the last 8 years and am confident in all manner of carpentry jobs. As an artist I make large sculptures out of wood, metal, and found materials, as well as working as an assistant for other sculptors. I am a very good painter and drawer, and enjoy these activities in my spare time.

    Hi I'm Frankie, I am an artist and have supported children with complex learning disabilities. For the last 2.5 years I have worked as a prison officer in a fast-paced, busy prison. Here, I was able to work with a complex and diverse group of individuals, including those with neurodiverse needs rehabilitate themselves. Outside of work, I am currently in the early stages of learning to figure skate, completing lessons once a week at my local rink.I really thrive when meeting new people whilst exploring various parts of the world, and I love trying new food and learning about new cultures.
