Paula handles the essential admin tasks, checking attendances, and liaising with schools and professionals. Her role is incredibly varied, from completing building checks and ensuring health and safety compliance to occasional random tasks like replacing light bulbs or creating something for a wall display. Her to-do list is varied and endless and she wouldn’t have it any other way! No two days are the same.
Paula came to the project as a young woman in 2009-2010. Seven years later, she returned to be an admin volunteer. After two years, she landed her current role.
Paula loves nothing more than getting home and flopping on the sofa to watch TV or YouTube, or getting lost in The Sims 3. A little afternoon snooze is especially good if she has a purring pillow on her knee. Paula’s also into exploring the past by researching family history and viewing old maps and photos of Gateshead and Newcastle.
