⭐️ PERSONAL THANK YOU ⭐️
Wow! Where do I begin?! 🥺
After a fantastic 9 years at Osgoldcross Forum; I can’t believe our beloved ‘Youth on the Move’ project has come to an end and will be no more 😢 this will be my final ever post!
I want to start by thanking John Vause (no longer with us), the staff (past and present) and trustees at Osgoldcross Forum for giving me the opportunity of being a Youth Worker.
When I started at Osgoldcross Forum a little over 9 years ago, I never believed it was a job I could do! Even though my background had always been young people, from birth to 18 years originally. This was a completely different role I was taking on, somewhat out of my comfort zone! But I can say it has been THE BEST, most rewarding role I have ever taken on! The young people (and their parents/carers!) I have had the honour of working with over my 9 years have given me the easiest job in the world! For that I thank each and every one of you from the very bottom of my heart ❤️
I’ve watched so many of you grow and flourish into young adults now taking on the world. So many grow from small, shy 5 year olds; to confident pre-teens and teens!
I’ve laughed with (and cried with; mostly happy tears!) so many of you! And I guess with some of you finding yourselves, I found a little bit of myself in this role too!
The project and you guys (past and present) have been an absolute pleasure!! An opportunity I will forever be grateful for.
This is goodbye 😢 but with that I take away some amazing memories of my time and memories that I’ll cherish forever. I will miss you all dearly but I wish you all; young people, parents/carers good luck for your futures!
I do hope that you will all always remember ‘Youth on the Move’, myself and the staff we have had over the last 15 years!
For the final time; over and out
Sophie ❤️
