Meet the team

I've volunteered for years, and time flies when you're having fun. The members and leaders make Reach Across what it is — there's never a dull moment!

​

I joined REACH Across in January 2023 and can count on one hand the amount of weeks I’ve not been there. I’ve loved every second of it and will probably never stop!

Being a REACH member helped shape my confidence. As a leader I get to do the same for today’s youth. It's been the most rewarding experience so far!

Joined reach across as a volunteer as it helped me have so many opportunities when I was a member years ago and I want to give something back!

Joined as a member in 2002. Absolutely love giving something back to my much loved city and helping the youth make as many happy memories as I have.

When I joined Reach at 15 it truly made my teenage years ten-times better; I've met the most amazing people there. I'll always have fond memories of Reach

I joined REACH last year to help encourage my son to join. I've always worked with children and love seeing how REACH helps young people thrive.

Being part of Reach has shaped who I am. I started out as a member just trying to find my place, and now as a leader, I can help others do the same.

14 years volunteering after being a member for 2. REACH has allowed me professional and personal opportunities that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten.

Joining REACH let me do stuff I never would have had the chance to do and I’m so grateful to have those opportunities and new ones now

I love volunteering with the teens, it keeps me young at heart, so much so I forget that I'm thirty years older than most of them!

I loved Reach as a member, the leaders were a huge reason why! I always wanted to become a leader to create that same love for the club in new members.

REACH Across has given me opportunities & experiences I never imagined possible. I made key memories as a member and will make more as a volunteer.

It's rewarding and fulfilling to be part of the development of members from being shy and quiet young people to confident and engaging senior members.

I joined Reach when I was 14 and have never left. I’ve been given many opportunities and it’s great to give back as a leader.

I joined Reach at 15 and returned as a leader at 22. I have always wanted to help our youth and there’s no better place to do this than REACH Across!

I joined at 14 and I've been there since! I love part of the volunteer team, helping other young people enjoy a safe and encouraging space like I did!

I'm so pleased to now be a part of the team and help other young people enjoy a safe and encouraging space like I did!

I joined as a member in January 2018 and haven’t left since! Its great to give back as a leader! He’ll never tell anyone else, but I’m Barney’s favourite!

I love being involved with REACH as every day is something different, no club night is the same. The young people we work with are some of the best.
