Sarah was one of only fifty Year 10 to Year 13 students nationally to secure a place on the \u2018Next Gen Nurse\u2019 work experience programme. Supporting her quest to become a mental health nurse, Sarah approached a local nursing home about volunteering opportunities. She has been successful in her application to support residents with dementia. Sarah is a student leader and she will be in this ambassador role for a year and take part in many projects in the school to enhance the experiences of students.\u00a0 Alongside being a dedicated and hard-working student and student leader, during lockdown, Sarah raised \u00a3363 for Mind, by running a mile daily for 27 days in March.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What a worthy cup winner, indeed!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meeting Speaker SI R&amp;D held it&#8217;s September meeting at the Colburn Village Hall on 16th&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":128,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[63,11,25,65,64],"class_list":["post-4806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news","tag-chernobyl-aid-uk","tag-http-www-craccl-org-2","tag-richmond-school","tag-richmond-town-hall","tag-scotch-corner-hotel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>September Meeting | News | Blog | Events | SI Richmond and Dales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Richmond and Dales : Blog &amp; News : September Meeting : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Richmond and Dales .
