dedicated youth workers and volunteers

Hi, I am Kerrie, the founder of The Acorn Project and also a youth worker. I am a mum to Jack and Katie.

I have worked for over 26 years supporting children, young people and their families - especially when impacted by cancer.

What I love about my role at The Acorn Project:

• Being able to support people to find their inner voice and make choices that are right for them

• Making people feel seen and heard regardless of the situation and finding solutions or ways to navigate the next steps

• Connecting with a person where they are at and helping to wrap the support they need around them

• Providing opportunities for people to connect with others in similar situations through catch-ups, activities and camps, to name just a few

• Watching young people find their potential, develop confidence, achieve personal growth, and so much more...
