Meet the Team @Hendre
Meet Jess
I have worked in the playwork for 19 months, but have experience within the childcare and youth work. In my spare time, I love spending time with my Friends and family, watching programmes, series and films. These include rugby, Vampire Diaries, Greys Anatomy and Harry Potter. I also love planning trips. My Favourite play memory from my childhood was when my cousin and I would make our own version of trapped, which we would play every Sunday. Play is a fun and easy way to support children's learning and development. It supports independence but also team work. I love giving the children an opportunity to be independent and explore their creativity and imagination.
Meet Holly
I have been working with Clwb Y Ddraig since 2022. In my spare time I like to listen to music and sometimes write. I live with my older sister. I don't have a specific play memory, I just enjoyed all my play memories. To me play means using your imagination and having fun. I love everything about my job.
Meet Brandon
I have worked as a playworker and a teaching assistant. In my spare time you usually find me gaming with my friends. My favourite play memory as a child was getting my first phone. To me play is interacting with the children and seeing that I’m making a difference. The favourite part of my job is making the children smile.
