Hey, I’m Danielle and I’m a qualified youth worker at YMCA. I’m a mam of 2 and am obsessed with all things Disney, especially the Lion King… my favourite character is Rafiki.

I am able to deliver sexual health advice including C-card, and specialising in detached work, meeting young people on the streets and working with them on their own terms.
