Stewart Loze
Stewart is a retired teacher and joined the Barefoot board in 2019.
I joined the board after one visit to see the charity at work. My visit was an extremely enjoyable experience. The youth workers and volunteers were enthusiastic and encouraged the young people to engage in activities. I was amazed by the willingness of the vast majority to get involved in preparing and cooking a meal for everybody attending that session; even those who were not so keen to participate obviously felt at ease in a safe environment. It was somewhere to talk to friends and to seek support if required. |
