Community Learning and Development Worker

The official cheapskate version of post....

without picture!

Alright? Hi everyone, Before I started working as a CLDW. I was fortunate enough to be part of the embrionic stages at Cafe K. Indeed, though cultivating this project I have seen it grow and develop at a rate which suits the young people we work with and the community centre. Interesting part: I was one of the last YTS trainees earning £25.00 per week so thanks Maggie Thatcher for the foot up! (Sarcasm is one of my strong points!).

Volunteer

Hi my name is Graeme and I have been a member of the FCUK staff team on a Friday night as a volunteer for over a year now. Originally from the West coast I moved up to Edinburgh to attend University where I study Community Education. My interests and hobbies are sport, but in particular football and golf. I hope to continue the good work that the Jack Kane strives to do on a daily basis for many years to come, if they let me that is.
