Hello, my name is Andrew and I am a member and part time employee here at Swansea People First.
We have been extra busy over the past few months where I have been co-trainer on our 'Leadership Skills Course in Fforestfach Day Centre.
We have held 'Question Time' sessions with local Assembly Members in the run up to the General Election in May raising awareness of the issues and rights of my peers and helping them to make an informed choice of who to vote for.
They all listened to us very carefully and with the support of Swansea People First we got our points across to them.
You can see pictures from these sessions HERE with Dr Dai Lloyd AM (Plaid Cymru), Peter Black (Lib Dems), Andrew Davies (Labour) and Nick Bourne (Conservative)
I am also still working 3 hours a week in the People First office helping out Daniel the administrator and have now been doing it for 120 weeks!
I am loving the responsibility and opportunity to learn new things and be part of a working environment like anybody else.
We have all worked together to organise the Annual Health Fair at which I took part in the Fashion Show and manned our information stand giving out leaflets and resources to people.
It was a great day and I am proud to have been involved. I look forward to next year!

Dear Andrew
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing new website and blog. I just want to say how much I admire and regard your work and that of everyone at People First. You are all incredible. What an inspiration!
I loved seeing you all at the fashion show. WOW! You all looked A-mazing! I am going to share this web-site as a health resource with everyone I work with. You have all made such an big difference to people's health and people's lives.
A big thumbs up to you all and to Lynn and the Team. You are an inspiration to us all. I don't think there is another group quite like Swansea People First out there. You lead and we will follow!
Good luck with all your future projects. I can't wait to hear and see what else you will be doing. Keep up the good work!
