Meet our newest team member

/

Heyyy! 

My name is Genesis, I was born and raised in London and am an extrovert who has a passion for doing youth work, who loves cooking and travelling.

I am excited to be working with Canaan project, particularly working with girls as I was once that young girl who needed guidance and mentorship growing up and benefitted massively from having the right support network. 

I enjoy pampering and learning new ways on loving myself, I enjoy watching movies (Disney and Marvel in particular) lifting weights in the gym, and being a social butterfly.

I’m looking forward to joining this incredible team as they are already doing so much amazing work and I would love to help tCanaan project grow and reach more girls. My aim is that girls learn to love themselves just as they are and to believe that they can do and become whoever they choose to be.

Whilst we encourage everyone to stay home during this time, we also encourage fun and who said you can’t have fun at home? I am convinced that dancing is the answer to our boredom….

Covid- 19 Update

Hi all,

It is with regret that we’ve had to make the decision that as of 17th March and in line with government advice, we will no longer be running provision.

We are anticipating that we will be working from home until at least Easter. Whilst we hope to be back running sessions from the beginning of the summer term, we can’t be sure during these uncertain times.

In light of this decision, we're making the following plans:……..
