Fernando Bezerra Bandeira de Mello joins the team

This week Fernando flies from Brazil to join the team, working mainly in West Swindon under the emerge project there.  Fernando is 25 and has a degree in journalism.  He also plays football pretty well and has experience both in organising sports events and drama groups. 

Working initially in Greendown and Bradon Forest schools, Fernando will also expand our work in helping young people to reach their potential through performing arts and sport.  Please make him welcome!«  Back
