Throughout those years of working and raising kids, my outside interests have always included a focus on the development of young people. Whether coaching sport, mentoring GCSE level students or recruiting new graduates from university, I have always taken tremendous satisfaction from helping young people to explore and discover their place in the world.
When the opportunity arose at Action4Youth, I recognised a team with very similar values and expectations. I am very proud to be a part of such a passionate group dedicated to the development of a new generation of young leaders.

He was also a founding member of the London First Partnership in Policing mentoring scheme and was a mentor for a senior police officer in the Met Police for some years.
Married with five children, Andrew explains sport plays a massive part in his family’s life. He loves a bit of competition but tends to watch nowadays, rather than participate!
He has always felt it is vitally important for young people to be able to be aware of their potential and to realise it. He is excited to join the A4Y team and and play a part in the journeys of young people in Buckinghamshire.
