Hi, my name is Angela Yardy.
I have spent all of my adult life so far working with children in some way, although most of it voluntary work, and as a result have never really left my own childhood (you may notice from some of my poem content - sorry!)
I am very happily married, with 2 children, and they are both brilliant at sharing their imaginations with me, so they are to blame for lots of my silliness too! They are also the reason that I became so actively involved at my local primary school, which is where I worked for 4 years as a part time teaching assistant, until I gave up paid work in favour of all the voluntary roles that needed filling (that's where my wonderful husband and provider comes in!)
My main commitment is to the children's and youth work at my local church, which also takes me into primary schools to do assemblies (Hi to all of you children from Swinton Fitzwilliam, Swinton Queen, and Swinton Brookfield and to Kilnhurst Primary School - yes it is me!). I am a leader in Sunday Club for 5 to 16 year olds, Sunday evening TNT Youth group for 11 years and upwards, and Teen Aglow teenage girls group which meets one Saturday in each month. See our church website if you fancy joining us.
If you want to know more about my very special honour of being awarded the Rotherham Ambassador award, I've told you more on this link in the best way I know how; a poem!
I'd love to hear what you think. Please leave a message in my
