We are happy to introduce and welcome Tracey, our new Wellbeing Officer, to the team! With a passion for promoting health and happiness, Tracey brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to our Wellbeing initiatives. In her own words, Tracey has shared her journey and vision for fostering a supportive and thriving environment for everyone:
“I’m delighted to be part of the excellent team at the Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea (VCKC) and part of the newly formed Specialist Services team. As one of two Wellbeing Officers, I am best placed to support local residents (past and present) through a variety of health and wellbeing activities and opportunities.
Looking back, my work and life experiences led me here to VCKC. Previously, I have worked in a number of different museums. In that role, I fully utilised my personal values, such as making meaningful connections with compassion and integrity at the forefront of every action, and supported volunteers and colleagues on their personal journeys
Alongside my work, I have also volunteered for various organisations and am currently a volunteer mentor for women wanting to get into employment. Fast forward to the pandemic, during which I had a brief stint as a ‘Support Worker’, helping to support RBKC residents with daily tasks and activities.
Now, as a Wellbeing Officer, I have a strong conviction to practise what I preach, and as such, I regularly incorporate the following into my weekly my self-care routine: meditation, yoga, Pilates, gardening and walking…
On reflection, it took some time to get to where I am today, and I’m pleased to share, thanks to my continual commitment to self-care and self-love, the good days greatly outweigh any other sort of day! And, finally, on my journey of self-discovery and betterment, I’m really looking forward to learning lots whilst enriching the lives of the people I currently support and will support moving forward. “
Welcome to the team Tracey! We are excited to have you with us and look forward to the positive impact you will undoubtedly bring.
