Be Fearless in County Durham

About Sharon

I have over 15 years’ experience working in various school settings and also worked for over 5 years within a residential child care setting.

I absolutely love youth work and will try my best to encourage every young person to be the 'best' version of themselves.

My aim in this role is to inform, inspire and allow young people to make good decisions whether reporting or being involved in crime.

Young People's Workshops

Fearless provides workshops and assemblies aimed at 11-18 year olds in a school or youth setting and we also provide awareness sessions to professionals who work with young people and for parents/careers.

Sessions are fast paced, emotive and engaging; using a variety of media to deliver our message. We are flexible and can adapt sessions to meet the needs of your young people.

All of our sessions are FREE. There is NO cost for our service, as we are fully funded.
