  • Adam

    Senior Youth Support Worker

    I’m Adam and I'm a Senior Youth Support Worker based in Newton Abbot and across South Devon. I began my journey at the Station as a young person, became a young volunteer, and have since become part of the furniture. I love adventure, challenges, and cooking. Life is full of challenges, but I always have the three Ps: passion, patience and persistence. And occasionally...pizza if you're lucky.

  • Maddie

    I am a Senior Youth Support Worker at The Station and in communities around the area. I love getting involved in all the fun and creative activities at the centre and am always eager to try the delicious food that is cooked up. When I'm not at the centre you can find me at the beach or hanging out with my dog, so I'm always happy to hear about the animals you have at home!
