Speaking for Charity

A short while ago, I was invited to speak at the Bexley Women’s Aid annual conference, and accepted without hesitation. After preparing and presenting a 10 minute talk about the charity’s work in schools and its impact- to a hall of officials- I received useful, supportive and encouraging feedback. The coordinator was so pleased with my work that she contacted my head teacher and I received the Head Teacher’s Award for representing the school in an outstanding way. 

I kept in contact with the women working for the charity, and was invited for a meeting to discuss the possibility of volunteering at one of their refuges. I hope to start soon, on a weekly basis to hopefully gain some valuable experience and help BWA offer their support.
