Lisa Kruise

I am working here with young girls who come from a traumatic background. The backgrounds of these girls include things like sexual abuse, domestic abuse, verbal and emotional abuse, going missing from care, violence, aggression and self-harm. I support these young girls to change their lives for the better, whilst being in close contact with the team as well as the psychologist.

Here I am a residential support worker, working with young adults between the ages of 16-25, who have alcohol or drug misuse problems, foster care backgrounds, criminal history or mental disabilities.

At the youth club I work with both younger children and young people (5-18 years old), where we do different activities with everyone such as cooking, arts and crafts and sports to prevent them from taking part in crime and be more productive citizens instead in their life. These are children and young people from tough backgrounds, who are often in contact with police and court for negative criminal behaviour and are frequently suspended from school. We support them to achieve their goals in life.

I worked with little children between the ages of 2-7 teaching them the basics of rugby and doing lots of stimulating activities with them.

Here I worked with children and youth who had special needs, for example learning or physical disabilities, and supported them with fun activities on a horse.

I worked with young people in custody to help them with life skills, communication skills, confidence skills and being a listening ear for them.
