Out staying his temporary position by a few months, Matthew Wing has finally taken the final steps towards leaving vGreenwich. Since his arrival last year we have seen a number of volunteering achievements, big events, training positions and amazing opportunities for young people in Greenwich. He has not only assisted us in organising our own events and making a difference in our community but has mentored many of us and given us the new directions that we needed.
We've put on intergenerational, youth, knife crime , marketing and environmental events; provided sports, podcasting, enterprise and media training and given young people opportunities to find new jobs, improve their CVs, meet new people, explore new interests and gain experience.
Matthew has ensured all the important details have been tied up(the boring bits!), handed out our expenses, provided maltesers and refreshments and always motivated and encouraged us to think big and aim high!
Who knows maybe one day Matthew will get that warehouse with all the computers and the load of young volunteers he is always talking about and will change the world like he said he would!
I think everyone will agree that he will be missed, but we still have a lot to think about, a lot more to change and a big difference to make.
We would like to thank Matthew and we look forward to welcoming our new vGreenwich coordinator on 8th March. I know we will continue to work hard and be committed to v in the future!
