Working with children on initiative such as KerbCraft
"Time credits and volunteering has helped me to learn new skills and given me the confidence and skills to return to work following a career break."
"I earned time credits through volunteering to support the Real Junk Food Cafe enrichment. This meant I was able to pay for a holiday during the summer. My children went to the theatre for the first time, visited Madame Tussauds and climbed the Blackpool Tower. Giving my time saved me so much money but also allowed me to experience life enriching things with my children and family. Even better, it got me a job at Cadoxton Primary School and now I’m in a paid role."
