Hi Guys If you hadn't already guessed my name is Claire and I am the NERYA support worker. I have been in post for about 3 months now and I work 18 Hours per week. My role is to support the work of NERYA in anyway I can. This can be organising meetings, organising transport, organising everything from a health and safety point of view, facilitating group discussions, taking notes, organising food, going to meetings (so many many meetings...) etc etc. Basically I am here to do whatever the young people involved in NERYA tell me to do (aslong as its reasonable, I mean I wouldn't, for example, eat a hedgehog, because it wouldn't really achieve anything and would taste minging). A lot of the work I do is organising things and I spend a lot of my time in the office sending e-mails and doing a lot of ringing around. I am also a student, studying for my degree in Community and Youth Work, i'm nearly finished... i'll get there eventually!

My Interests

Personally i'm interested in music, photography, martial arts (kung fu queen) and cricket. Within my work i'm really interested in equality and diversity and how we can all contribute towards making the world a more equal place. This also involves looking at tackling discrimination against young people because of their age, for example, I believe it is wrong to ban young people from wearing hoodies in shopping centres because it is steroetyping all young people to be trouble makers and this isn't the case.

I'd like to meet:

You lot basically, if you live in the North East region and are aged between 13 - 21 and have something to say then why not send me a message? I'm keen to hear you ideas, what you like and dislike about where you live, how you feel about being a young person growing up in the North East, what you think of school / college, are there enough things for young people to do. You might have some suggestions about what work you would like to see NERYA do, it would be cool to hear your ideas. Please get in touch.
