Currently, I volunteer at a local Cub group, helping to organise and run sessions that promote skills, confidence, and positive friendships. Being part of the Cubs as a child and now returning as a volunteer has given me a deep understanding of what makes these groups special for children. These experiences demonstrate my long-term commitment to youth development and my ability to create engaging, supportive environments for children beyond paid roles
