Please can we kindly ask that you do NOT share this post, so that it remains solely on this page. Thank you all for your understanding.
It is with the deepest sadness that we share the news that the wonderful Shelane passed away at the beginning of October. Shelane joined us at the start of the year and immediately made a lasting impact on us all. She could often be found dancing or singing, bringing positivity, energy and joy to so many things she did. We know this news will come as a devastating shock to everyone who knew Shelane, and we recognise what a challenging and painful time this will be for all those who spent time with her, including the many young people she worked with. Her passion, determination, love of life and infectiously loud personality will never, ever be forgotten. Shelane was an incredible person and a truly special youth worker, and she will be deeply missed by so many. As we continue with our activities, we know that Shelane would want us to provide a safe and supportive space for young people. We will ensure that support is available for anyone who attends, whether they want to talk, share memories, ask questions or simply spend time with others. We look forward to seeing you all as we continue to remember Shelane and celebrate the amazing person and youth worker she was. I feel truly honoured to have known someone like her. Our thoughts remain with all of Shelane’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. 💙
