Introduction from Charlotte
Hello everyone!
I am Charlotte and I have recently joined the Momentum (part of Voluntary Norfolk) team as the Momentum Groups Officer. I will be supporting local Norfolk Youth Groups / Organisations to deliver quality services which are safe, accessible, and inclusive for young people to help inspire, involve, and empower!

|
I have joined the Voluntary Norfolk team with a background in Criminology and Sociology (recently graduating from Anglia Ruskin University), and I currently locally volunteer with young people at the Norwich 35th Sea Scouts and Beavers Section as a Section Assistant Leader. I am exceedingly passionate about making a positive difference through Youth Work and supporting young people to feel empowered to achieve their full potential. If you would like to have a chat to find out a little bit more about what I do, please feel free to contact me via phone or email. My email is Charlotte@momentumnorfolk.org.uk and my phone number is 07810 406136. I look forward to hearing from you!

Youth Work Network resources
Don’t forget, we have a Padlet board where you can share resources, training opportunities and information about new projects. It also has a ‘Q&A’ section where you can get support from your fellow youth workers and answer their queries.
