What Mobex gave me has been the basis of all my career moves; it is through the benefit of time that I can appreciate how this helped me to make positive decisions. I first became involved with Mobex in 1994 as a volunteer on their Atlas summer camp; I must have been about 18 at the time.
I was already qualified as a climbing instructor and I started doing bits of freelance work for them. I got more and more involved until I became funded through the Rank Foundation as a trainee with Mobex, this involved a mixture of delivering outdoor activities and training courses. We got paid subsistence money and got money at the start to pay for equipment that we needed.
I’d been climbing since I was 12 years old and because I was already a climber I got my Single Pitch Supervisor Award which allowed me to train others. Then I was doing my A levels and working for a climbing wall manufacturer and drifted into instructing at the wall and doing some freelance work for Mobex. Mobex provided brilliant life experiences, I was still going through adolescence at the time and it was part of us growing up, I am still really good friends with lots of people that I worked with there.
I was involved with loads of different projects at Mobex and the more I got involved the more interest I had in long-term work with a youth work emphasis. I did a degree in Community and Youth Work becoming a qualified youth worker. I worked in a secure unit for young people that were locked up for their own safety or because of crimes that they had committed. I now work as a maths teacher at
Mobex were like a family, they brought me up from being rock bottom, welcomed me in, gave me trust, gave me some skills and just boosted me so much it has given me a different outlook in life.
I got out of jail in 1990 and was living in a bail hostel and I went to do a first aid course at Mobex North East. I was really interested so I joined the probation group and later volunteered. I got my Basic Expedition Leaders Award and started freelancing going on to work on a disabilities development project.
As a volunteer I had an opportunity to canoe the Spay from source to sea for the John Muir Award. That required a huge amount of trust so I am quite proud of that. It was a great opportunity and I got the discovery award. Mobex sorted me out, kept me out of trouble. It has given me motivation. I’ve really turned things around now.
It gave me a lot of confidence and built up my self- esteem. They sent me to a retreat for a week, there was no hot running water and no electric and just three questions that you were asked: ‘Who are you? What do you want? How are you going to get there?’ I think that was the main turning point, by sending me there Mobex gave me a week for reflection, I came back and I knew what I wanted and how to get it. I wanted to be an outdoor instructor.
Now I’m working for a respite and crisis company in
