Hello my name is Sandra. I am a wife and mother of 2 girls. I am currently a lecturer in English Language as well as running our own family business. Prior to this, I trained as a Youth, Community and Social Worker. I studied for a diploma in Youth Studies followed by a degree in Education and Training in 1996; l later studied for a Subject Specialism in Literacy.
I sincerely believe that my call is to help improve the lives and outcomes for young people. So, when I got the call that a new project was starting up – involving young people – and the question followed shortly: “Would you like to join us?” – WELL! My response was: “How could I possibly refuse!”
The Accoutre principles sits comfortably with my tenets of my life: to provide young people with the tools to change and shape their world as well as themselves. The underlying thread that runs unceasingly throughout the project, whether teaching, in meetings or being in a working group is: `Instilling a spirit of excellence.” Accoutre is a vibrant, forward-thinking and innovative organisation with the sole aim: to advance the lives of young people – they `do’ education differently – and to this end, I am immensely delighted to be part of it.
Sandra Sinclair – Secretary
