Home/Inroads

I joined Inroads in April 2006 as an Administrator, my role is to organise the office, update the systems and help to organise the Inroads courses.

I attended Salendine Nook High School and Huddersfield New College.

Favourite film: Leon.

Favourite food: Anything with garlic in it.

Favourite music: Almost anything but especially David Bowie, Tom McRae, Athlete and Coldplay.

Hobbies: Reading, photography, music and skiing.
If I won the lottery I'd buy a Chalet in Switzerland, a state of the art music system and have a holiday in the Galapagos Islands.
 

My job is to write and deliver short training courses, and to help, support and encourage young people attending our courses. I also make tea for everyone. The reason I love my job so much is that I get to work with so many interesting and talented young people (instead of the boring business men and women I spent 20 years working with before).

I went to school in Huddersfield and to college in Liverpool, but that was a long time ago! In 2004, I went back to school for my teaching qualifications at Leeds Uni and Huddersfield Tech. You see, it's never too late to learn new things.

Favourite film: Sorry, don't like watching films much.

Favourite food: Guinness!!

Favourite music: I love ALL music except Pop Idol stuff.

Hobbies:Football - Meltham Athletic, Liverpool, Huddersfield Town and Cooking.
If I won the lottery I'd faint.
 

I joined Inroads at SHAP in May 2003. My job is to manage the Inroads at SHAP team and co-ordinate the Inroads partnership.This is great most of the time, except when they put milk in my coffee before the water.

I am from the other side (of the Penines that is!) but have lived in Yorkshire for ages and it feels like home.I went to school in Manchester and to University in Hull and London.

Favourite film: Too many as I love films.

Favourite food: Pasta, especially with mushrooms and cheese.

Favourite music: Everything except rubbish.

Hobbies:Reading, travelling, writing, history and archaeology.
If I won the lottery I would go for a trip round the world, buy a couple of houses and then start my own business to help more young people.
 

My job is to deliver advice and guidance to 16-30 year olds based on Education Employment or Training. A lot of young people are unsure about what they want to do, my advice to them is to think of a job that you would do for free if money did not exist and start from there.

Favourite Film: Don't have a favourite but I love films! Memoirs of a Geisha is pretty good although I prefer the book!

Favourite music: Too many artists to mention but I love Robin Thicke at the moment!

Hobbies: Travelling around the Caribbean hoping that some rich man will snap me up!

If I won the lottery I'd be out of here like a shot! No offence!
