Sarah is a Painter & Decorator from the West Midlands.

When Sarah was younger she did a similar programme to VIY which subsequently unlocked many opportunities for her, mentoring being one of them. She joined VIY in 2021 at Southbrook Community Centre in Daventry, supporting young people with their painting & decorating skills.

“I find it rewarding passing on my knowledge and in return I get to help communities and get to know different kinds of people, learning new skills myself.”

Bill first volunteered on VIY back in 2015. At the time he was semi-retired but enjoyed the experience so much that he now works pretty much full-time for VIY. Bill has now mentored on 20+ VIY projects and is highly respected by all young people he has supported. He is a genuine multi-trader and can turn his hand to most things, from plumbing and carpentry to electrical work and painting and decorating.

Paul first encountered VIY when we ran a project at Portico Vine Rugby League Club in St Helens in 2014 where Paul was involved as a coach and committee member. He was so impressed by the impact the project had on the club and the young people who took part that he began working for VIY on further projects across the North of England and is now full time in his Lead Mentor role.
