Volunteers and Placement Students
Katrina Hamilton, Personal Development Mentor
Our Personal Development Mentor helps young people who have reached the upper age limit of our Personal Development Programme to access other support services.
Katrina worked in advice services, housing and homelessness before retiring in 2023. As a mother and grandmother, she has had a keen interest in the wellbeing of children and young people for a long time. She volunteers with Bridges Project to help young people “be all they can be”.
