Sean Davison Casual Auxiliary Youth Worker
Sean enjoys the sport and activity side of youth club in particular.
Emma Fail Casual Auxiliary Youth Worker
Emma is currently working as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in Mental Health alongside her role as an Auxiliary Youth Worker. She became a youth worker to work in an environment where our young people can express themselves without the negativity that is attached to them. It was also to build on the experiences she had working with children on placement at Beamish Museum and volunteering with the National Health Service (NHS). It’s a good feeling when you see the young people enjoying themselves at the youth clubs. She loves baking when she’s at home. Her absolute favourite are triple chocolate cookies! Emma also loves a good TV drama you can really get stuck into or a film. Her favourite film is probably Shutter Island but Shrek is probably a close second.
Ellie Lowes Casual Auxiliary Youth Worker
Ellie is currently in her third year of beauty theory at college. As well as working for the youth club she does make-up, special effects and hairdressing. Ellie has done work experience for Outfit (fashion store)and Beamish museum Halloween nights. She has also won face painting regionals competition 2 years running. Ellie claimed a win at nationals.
Other than that she loves doing arts and crafts with the kids, particularly helping them when they are struggling or finding something difficult. Ellie’s favourite activity to do with kids is definitely face painting. She can face paint most things they want from unicorns and butterflies to super heroes and dragons. It’s nice to see that once the face paint is done the kids are so happy. They run about showing their friends what they have had done.
