Our journey<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInDown”]Getaway Girls was set up in 1987 and became a registered charity in 1990 originally to introduce young women to outdoor activities\/ adventure education. It was felt that this was a male dominated area of work and in order to redress this Getaway Girls set about developing exciting opportunities for young women who may otherwise have a chance to try these activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the changing needs of young women and new funding becoming available Getaway Girls expanded quickly. Getaway Girls has striven to remain flexible in its approach and as a result grew from being a small team to an organisation employing 18 staff and an active team of volunteers delivering a variety of projects. Our committed staff team have continued to offer a high quality service ensuring that Getaway Girls continues its reputation as an excellent organisation working with young women within Leeds.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-10-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom”][nectar_cascading_images image_1_url=”409″ image_1_offset_x_sign=”+” image_1_offset_x=”0%” image_1_offset_y_sign=”+” image_1_offset_y=”0%” image_1_rotate_sign=”+” image_1_rotate=”none” image_1_scale=”1″ image_1_animation=”Grow In” image_1_box_shadow=”none” image_1_padding=”auto” image_1_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_1_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_1_image_width_mobile=”default” image_2_url=”408″ image_2_offset_x_sign=”+” image_2_offset_x=”0%” image_2_offset_y_sign=”+” image_2_offset_y=”0%” image_2_rotate_sign=”+” image_2_rotate=”none” image_2_scale=”1″ image_2_animation=”Grow In” image_2_box_shadow=”none” image_2_padding=”auto” image_2_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_2_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_2_image_width_mobile=”default” image_3_url=”1148″ image_3_offset_x_sign=”+” image_3_offset_x=”0%” image_3_offset_y_sign=”+” image_3_offset_y=”0%” image_3_rotate_sign=”+” image_3_rotate=”none” image_3_scale=”0.75″ image_3_animation=”Grow In” image_3_box_shadow=”none” image_3_padding=”auto” image_3_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_3_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_3_image_width_mobile=”default” image_4_offset_x_sign=”+” image_4_offset_x=”0%” image_4_offset_y_sign=”+” image_4_offset_y=”0%” image_4_rotate_sign=”+” image_4_rotate=”none” image_4_scale=”0.5″ image_4_animation=”Grow In” image_4_box_shadow=”none” image_4_padding=”auto” image_4_max_width_desktop=”100%” image_4_max_width_mobile=”100%” image_4_image_width_mobile=”default” border_radius=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#523679″ scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”meet-the-team” row_name=”Meet the team” disable_ken_burns=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” top_margin=”30″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-bottom” delay=”50″][vc_column_text]\n

I started working at Getaway Girls doing my most favourite EVER project in my working life, working on the Changing Labels Heritage Lottery project in 2013. I supported a group of young women into researching teenage fashion over the years…it was a fantastic project and I loved every minute of it. I then had a break, but moved back to Getaway Girls as Specialist CSE (Child Sexual Exploitation) worker and following this I successfully applied for the post of Complex Needs Worker and I\u2019ve been in this post since February 2017.<\/p>\n

Before Getaway Girls, I\u2019ve had a few jobs over the years, but when I started working in the community I knew that\u2019s what I wanted to do. It is great to work for a charity that inspires young women and gives them a voice.<\/p>\n

Education: After leaving school I attended college and achieved a National Diploma in performing arts, this has always been something I have been very passionate about.<\/p>\n

I will also look at supporting them to gain good interview skills, produce a good CV, making applications for jobs and then will support them during the transition into the world of work.<\/p>\n

I love working at Getaway Girls because we offer support to young women in a very positive and unique way. We are a charity that does grassroots work and we reach diverse groups of young women. This is also reflected in our staff team. I feel passionate like all of my colleagues about supporting young women, facilitating their growth and creating a positive impact in their lives and therefore in the wider community! I started working at Getaway Girls after a career break to bring up my children. As a teenager, I was part of a local youth group run by Flavia, Getaway Girls now director. I remember the difference that that work had made to my life (as the child of new migrants to the UK) and the positive experiences I had as a young person. I felt Getaway Girls represented the difference that I wanted to make to the lives of others, having had first-hand experience of this myself!
\nI studied a BA (Honours) in Sociology and studied this at the University of Greenwich in London. I studied many interesting subjects during my studies including Third World Studies, Introduction to Counselling and Criminology which have shaped my own view of the world.<\/p>\n

Outside of work I love spending time with my family, my siblings, my nieces and nephews. I love learning so I am always enrolled on courses and trying to improve my understanding of the world. I also enjoy going to the gym and travelling when I can!<\/p>\n

What I did before
\nBefore working at Getaway Girls; as a teenager I worked in catering. I especially like working at the Elland road stadium for the football matches as the atmosphere is fab! Whist I was studying at University for my degree in Youth and Community Development, I have worked in various jobs in retail, clubs and bars, and as a carer for people suffering with dementia. I love meeting new people and I\u2019m very passionate about the work I do and continuing my professional development.<\/p>\n

A bit about me
\nI\u2019m from Leeds and love living and working here!
\nI have three young children who keep me extremely busy at home with various sporting activities, board games, reading and baking. When I have a bit of me time I love to read or catch up with friends for a nice meal and a giggle. One thing I\u2019d like to do in the future is travel and visit & see as much of the world as possible! A road trip through Europe in a campervan would be an ideal start.<\/p>\n
