The YCW NEC has another new member to welcome. Chris Allison - who is part of the Billingham YCW Group - will be joining the NEC as Assistant to the National Secretary.
Chris, 22, has just finished his BA in Business Studies from Teesside University, where he wrote his dissertation about the abolition of zero-hour contracts. His experience in the world of work as a barman on a zero-hour contract whilst studying at University inspired his dissertation. He currently works as an Administrator at a Secondary School.
He is an active member of the parish community as an altar server and through the YCW has been involved in many different types of social outreach within the parish.
Chris has also completed the Papal Cross Award for the John Paul II Award, which runs in the Hexham & Newcastle Diocese.
Welcoming Chris to his new role, Marc Besford the National President said: “I’m very pleased to have Chris join us on the NEC. His combination of YCW experience and understanding of the challenges in the world of work will make him an excellent fit for us.”
