With over 14 years of experience working with young people, I’ve had the opportunity to support them in various roles, including one-to-one assistance in SEN schools, youth work, and as a Designated Safeguarding Lead in a school. My passion lies in helping young people thrive and realise their full potential. Drawing from my own life experiences, I use these insights to guide and inspire young people, emphasizing that we can make the right choices at any time to change our paths in life. I stress the importance of embracing individuality and leveraging their strengths to achieve the best outcomes, and I encourage them to stay optimistic as they pursue their goals.

Outside of work, I stay active through physical exercise and football. I love exploring new countries and enjoying gaming.

I have four years of experience working with young people in different roles, including part-time work with Xpro Rugby Coaching, delivering summer camps, and positions in an ALP setting as a Learning and Community Facilitator, as well as a High-Level Teaching Assistant at a SEN school, providing 1-on-1 support. I hold a bachelor's degree from Hartpury University, where I gained coaching experience with primary, secondary, and college students. I also have an England Rugby Coaching award. My goal is to engage young people in physical, fun activities to support their physical, mental, and social well-being, and it's rewarding to see their progress. Outside of work, I’m passionate about rugby, having played from a young age with achievements at county, academy, university, and national league levels. I also stay active through exercise, enjoy gaming, exploring new places, and spending time with friends and family.

I’m a Youth and Boxing Mentor , I work closely with young people to help them grow socially, emotionally, and personally. Whether it's one-on-one sessions or group activities, I’m here to support them in all areas of life.

What makes me proudest is seeing the progress these young people make—whether they’re doing better in school, becoming more confident socially, or just feeling better about themselves. Their success is what drives me every day.

I’m really passionate about what I do, especially because I come from a similar background as some of the youth I work with. This helps me understand their challenges and connect with them on a deeper level.

I also know how important it is for young people to feel like they belong, so I’m always encouraging them to join sports clubs or start an exercise routine. It’s a great way for them to build confidence, stay healthy, and make new friends.

I'm Anton, an 11-0 professional boxer with 15 years of experience in the sport and over 5 years competing at the pro level. Beyond the ring, I’m passionate about motivating young people to lead healthy, active lifestyles. For over 6 years, I’ve been working with young people, running one-on-one and small group boxing sessions that build resilience, respect, confidence, and discipline. My goal is to help young people apply these skills to overcome everyday challenges and thrive.

I have 16 years of experience working with children and young people, beginning with a grade A qualification in Childcare and Youth Studies at Filton College. I later earned a Certificate of Higher Education in Teacher Training from the University of Gloucestershire and a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies from the Open University.

My career spans working with ages 0-5 for seven years before transitioning to older youth. Over the past seven years, I’ve worked in Alternative Learning Provisions and a Pupil Referral Unit, teaching PSHE, ASDAN, and running Offsite Provisions. My focus is on building strong relationships, empowering young people to see their strengths, and supporting them in overcoming challenges positively.
