Hi, my name is Camilla and I have the best job in the world. I am the Friend for Life Coordinator. I like to see myself as the friendship version of Cupid. I get to match people together to make long lasting friendships that make memories that will last a lifetime.  I first joined Friend for Life to become a friend myself but was so interested in the project after going to an information event that I changed my whole career overnight and now have 40 friends. I have previously been a Family Support Worker, Young Carers Worker, Public Speaker and Consultant for the NHS. I joined the Resilience Revolution in 2018. My passion is to support young people to make a better life for themselves and others using the power of human voice. I have an obsession with the colour turquoise and in my spare time I enjoy travelling, playing games, reading, eating nice food, going to the theatre and watching Blackpool FC play (although I have absolutely no idea about the game, for me it’s just about the atmosphere and the community spirit).

Hi, my name is Rachel and I am the Friend for School Volunteer Coordinator. I joined the Friendship team in March 2020 during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. My role involves matching volunteers from the world of work with pupils who are struggling in schools.  I am also a photographer and have photographed events for local charities and organisations. I have been a volunteer for various Blackpool charities as well as for the police (admin role, of course!). I am passionate about disability sports and I am a member of the Blackpool Boccia team. My favourite colour is blue and I am a huge Harry Potter fan! In my spare time, I like going to the cinema, playing Boccia, doing jigsaws or Lego and spending time with family and friends. 

Hi my name is Danielle Cromer, I am an Apprentice Volunteer Coordinator for Blackpool council. I started this job through lockdown last year and it has been little over a year now since starting. I enjoy working with young people and helping them by talking about my experiences when being under the care of the local authority. I enjoy living and working in Blackpool and feel I can make a change here.
