Fairbridge Trust

One of the most exciting projects I've observed over my journey of the country was that of the Fairbridge Trust. Working in 15 of the most deprived areas of the UK providing a variety of long term personal support and challenging activities that bring about change in the lives of many young people. It was very refreshing to see that the organisation was very fresh and was always looking for new and innovative ways of reaching many young people who would possibly other wise miss out on the much needed support and input. They very much focus on the individual and their needs they are prepared to think outside of the box and this was extremely exciting to see.
Two things really stuck out at me in what I observed that I think set them very much apart from many other project and in the main contribute to their success. The first being their professionalism in the way they are structured and organised along with there methods and processes they impart in their contact work. They showed a genuine heart for the work. Secondly and almost more importantly it was so very obvious to see that they were passionate about what they were doing and the young people they came into contact with.

Passion must be the most important element to the work is it not? If we don't have passion then what do we have? Gordon Ramsey said on his most recent Hells Kitchen Programme the other day that Passion was the most important thing that we can have. Perhaps it doesn't matter really what its for but it's the driving force behind what we do.
Are you passionate about what you do???
