My journey with Ursuline Links has been a long one and it’s really shaped me into who and where I am today. Upon reflection after the reunion, unconsciously in many ways, the charity work that Ursuline Links does and my journey with them when I was in secondary school and sixth form has really opened me up to the whole charity sector and what is now my career journey and what I want to do in life. I started volunteering with the London Day Camp and other events and this helped me flourish in my confidence and love with working with children and building relationships with the fellow volunteers and team. The team was always so loving and warm towards me, especially being of Muslim faith, I never felt singled out. They have always been so welcoming and kind and supportive in many ways.
At the reunion retreat, it was so lovely seeing old familiar faces and sharing journeys and stories and really hearing what the future of Ursuline Links will look like. The conversations were so enriching and I loved discussing and giving feedback on the future of Ursuline Links. I can’t wait to see and be a part of it’s future, it’s all looking very exciting!
