Safeguarding Trustee - Keith Lavine (he/him)

 

Keith moved to Wendover in 2007 just after the birth of his second child. He has three children that use or have used the Youth Centre. His eldest child was the reason he got involved with WYC when she started attending Amazing Donkey. At that time the influx of new members meant new volunteers were desperately needed and the rest is history.

He has been regularly volunteering and enjoys interacting with the young people. He became a Trustee in 2021.

In his work life he manages people from different backgrounds and upbringings and volunteering with the youngsters at the WYC holds quite a few similarities!
