Wirral YFC

Sarah is our West Wirral Worker and has been with WYFC now for over a year. Sarah originally from St Albans Hertfordshire, started in youth work in her gap year working for a large youth work organisation do doing media and PR alongside working with her Church helping to run the youth work. From here she gained a passion for young people, to see them reach their full potential and know that they are loved. It was with this passion she then made the move from the south to the north to pursue a qualification in youth work.

Sarah moved to Chester studying for a DipHE in Christian Youth Work for two years and during this time worked out in the field in two different places. It was the second of these placements that brought her to the Wirral, working in Heswall for a Church. After finishing and passing her DipHE and gaining her JNC Sarah decided to stay on at the University of Chester gain her BA HONS in Christian Youth Work. During her final year Sarah studied Youth Work skills alongside Theology modules, but also stayed on the Wirral in employment with the Church where she had previously been on placement. It was during this time that God broke her heart for the young people of Wirral and she knew that God was calling her to live on the Wirral. Sarah since then has got married and moved to live and now work with Wirral YFC! She is now on the advisory panel for the University of Chester Youth Work degree and is a qualified hockey coach!
