Be Fearless in Cardiff

About Kendra

I am a Fearless Outreach worker for Newport and Cardiff who aims to educate and inspire young people to make informed and safe decisions when it comes to crime.

Northern Irish born and bred, I moved to Cardiff to study law. Whilst at university I took an interest in criminal law, specifically sexual exploitation and FGM. Having worked with many young females in my previous position as a fitness coach I became increasingly aware of the dangers of exploitation and how vulnerable today’s youth were. This sparked an interest in initiating positive change in society leading me to volunteer with Sexpression and further my work with St John Ambulance. This then unlocked a love for youth work which consequently led me to become a Youth Justice Worker in a Young Offenders Institute.

Knowing I could use this new found knowledge to help other young people not end up in this same position by being aware of matters such as grooming, exploitation, County Lines etc.. I jumped at the chance to become a Fearless Outreach Worker so I could empower young people to make the right decision when it comes to crime.

Young People's Workshops

Fearless.org provides free workshops and assemblies aimed at 11-18 year olds in a school or youth setting. These can be provided both in person and virtually. All topics can be delivered in 1 hour sessions. There is NO cost for our service, as we are fully funded.

Sessions are fast paced, emotive and engaging; using a variety of media to deliver our safety messages. We are flexible and can adapt sessions to meet the needs of your young people, and can also run sessions at Welsh Median Schools, with a translator present.
