Emily was previously a PE teacher working with children of different ages. Now, she has joined the service as a WBFL Practitioner and will be supporting individuals and communities with their health and wellbeing.

We asked Emily what she is looking forward to in the role:

โ€œIโ€™m excited to start building up clients and to directly make an impact in the community. And just to get to know the organisation as a whole.โ€

๐Ÿ’š Last Friday, Emma, one of our ๐—๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐——๐—ผ๐˜๐˜€ Facilitators, joined The Solan Connor Fawcett Family Cancer Trust at their Christmas Ball. This was a particularly special event as it was celebrating 10 years of their incredible work supporting cancer patients and their families across the North East.

Emma had the pleasure to be sat with Mark, Team Solanโ€™s CEO; Kevin Ball, former Sunderland player, captain, and coach; and BBC Tees radio presenter, Gary Philipson.

What was wonderful to see at the celebration was that there were over 30 โ€˜warriorsโ€™ attending โ€“ what Mark calls his cancer patients. Many of the warriors have also either been previously supported by us, or we continue to support them. This proves how much of a difference we make by working together with local charities for continued support.

The event was supported by lots of local businesses, raising awareness and funds on the night. Overall, though, the goal was celebration. They did just that with some great entertainment.

Hereโ€™s a message from Emma on the night:

โ€œI feel very fortunate and proud to be invited to this event, and to see those clients we have supported having made great support networks, new friendships, and overall having a great time. It was just amazing.โ€

"A fabulous end to my first week with WBFL. I joined Alastair, Leigh, Andrea and Lesley at The Leanne Kennedy Centre for the East Durham Veterans club. Lots of great conversations and a free lunch! I met Margaretโ€ฆ a genuine angel. She has fostered four children and is still young at 82. It was a real privilege to hear her story and meet her daughter, Emma. Great to see the ๐—›๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜๐—ต ๐—ฆ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—ฑ in action and see Andreaโ€™s unmentionable visual aids haha. I canโ€™t wait to go back."

We love to see a new team member dive right into the action. This is a wonderful example of our services working in partnership to make a difference.
