Introducing Victoria Ilott

This week we’d like to introduce you to another of our team members, Victoria Ilott:

“My name is Victoria Ilott, I am the Assistant Team Leader for the Peer Support project and I also work with Off the Scene, which is our support and advocacy service for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) young adults aged 18-25.

My background is in art, education, and supporting Children, Young People and Adults in a variety of settings: before moving to Sheffield I worked as a teacher of Art and Photography in secondary education and had a particular responsibility for working with students with additional needs. I feel incredibly privileged to be involved with a project which empowers young LGBT people to draw on their own skills and experience to provide support for their peers.”
