A large audience from the Rotary Clubs of Northallerton and Northallerton Mowbray recently enjoyed an evening talk from RAF Air Cadet Niamh Jessup, who completed a challenging week of leadership and character-building activities, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Northallerton.
Niamh took part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), a week-long residential course based at Hebden Hey Activity Centre near Hebden Bridge. The course challenges youngsters to solve problems and to lead and work with other members of a team. Niamh described her experiences of bonding with other course members, undergoing rigorous physical and mental tests in teams, and developing skills of self-confidence, leadership and teamwork.
Niamh is a 6th form student at Northallerton School and Sixth Form College, and is an enthusiastic member of 2337 Squadron RAF Air Cadets in Northallerton. She was accompanied for the talk by Flying Officer Mike Donnelly from the RAF Air Cadets. Niamh is keen to join the Royal Air Force Police, and was full of enthusiasm for the benefits of the course in terms of helping her to enhance her self-confidence and prepare for her chosen career.
Recruitment for the next courses in July and August 2024 start this autumn. Contact secretary@northallertonrotary.org.uk for more information.
