Thomas started his journey with Cumbria Youth Alliance in 2022 as a young person on the DWP outreach programme. He later freelanced in media production, leveraging his skills to benefit CYA. In addition to freelance work, Thomas has also served as a trustee. Now, Thomas continues to demonstrate his deep commitment to CYA’s mission as the junior marketing and communications officer, where he has quickly become a valuable member of the team.
Outside of CYA, Thomas volunteers with the Scout Association, where he uses his skills and passion to champion youth voices and continue to support young people.
Thomas’s progression from participant to trustee to staff member showcases significant dedication to CYA and support his own personal growth.
