Hi everyone, another week at my work placement plus a day at changemakers. Well this week I was included in a meeting with some funders to try and get them on board and give us funding for our project. I found the meeting very interesting as I learnt a couple of new things myself, it felt good to be a part of the meeting as I felt very welcome and apart of the team. As usual I’ve been doing the normal routine which is office based work in the daytime and delivering sessions in the evening.
