School Fellows' Placement Reports

Ross Jenkins - Time and Talents
My placement started by working in and around the office at Time and Talents. When I arrived on the Tuesday I was straight away swept up into the London madness, we definitely do not walk that fast in Somerset!

Hannah Partridge – Newquay Christian Centre
When I arrived in Newquay two weeks ago, I really didn’t know what to expect! I was promptly flung headlong into an environment where I knew no one and no one knew me, and I loved every second! Over the last two weeks I have got stuck into finding out what makes Newquay Christian Centre tick.

Farzin Mirshahi – The Good Shepherd Mission, Bethnal Green
Yet again, I found the level of organisation, resource and energy in the second Christian establishment I had been placed in nothing short of amazing. The Good Shepherd Mission in Bethnal Green is a rather isolated Christian church and youth-club set amidst a strong Bangladeshi contingent living on the Collingwood Estate.

Archie Wardlaw - Holton Lee
I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone in both the close-knit community of the Farmhouse and the Barn;

Robert Sharpley - The Wire Project
Although I was caught slightly off-guard at having to organise a full sports event for 40 young children within the first couple hours of beginning at the Festival of Wick, I soon figured out what was required of me and was constantly impressed by the enthusiasm and hard work of all the volunteers and children.
