Loren Scrivener<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was born and raised in Blackbird Leys Oxford by my parents Debbie & Glen, who are both big parts of the community in and around Oxford. I enjoyed going to the local youth club where my mum would run an art group for young people. This is where I met a lot of locals and grew to enjoy and embrace my creativity \u2013 for example, sewing and making my own clothes as taught by mum who studied fashion in college.<\/p>\n

My dad also had a dog-breeding business run from home, so I got my love for dogs, or animals in general, from spending time with him and the dogs and feeding the puppies etc.<\/p>\n

Blackbird Leys has a bad name for itself and is seen as a place of high risk and full of crime. However, growing up there was the best and I can honestly say that the community all come together and support each other like their own, which is lovely to see and is what I am used to.<\/p>\n

I have a love for the outdoors and plants, as well as for baking and spending time with family and friends. So, when I saw this placement, I knew instantly I would be right at home.<\/p>\n

I have been made to feel so welcomed and accepted by my friends here at the meeting house, and I look forward to meeting those I haven\u2019t yet met, and finishing this placement with people and lessons I can take away with me and use in future.<\/p>\n
