What Trust value means the most to you, and why?
Integrity means the most to me because I try to be honest all the time, even with my family. Most people and jobs need someone reliable and trustworthy who keeps their word, shows up on time when needed, and follows through on assigned duties. It’s important to me because these three adjectives (honest, reliable, and trustworthy) create strong bonds with people throughout the community, helping the community grow in many ways. I remember volunteering for a small company that helped a community learn self-defence through capoeira (a dance-martial art), brought back and reconnected Afro-Brazilian culture in Kingston upon Thames, and supported the neighbourhood by being welcoming.
How do you contribute to our goal of healthier, happier, stronger communities?
Be welcoming as people enter the centre, and try to help them with what they need. Create bonds with them by starting a conversation; make them feel included and heard, as I would also want to be when I go out. Start to help with events or programmes the trust puts on, or even give ideas for future activities the trust or centre could do.
