Gifty has a sound knowledge and understanding of the needs of young people and unaccompanied asylum seekers inclusive, sexual exploitation, offending/gangs and mental health. 

She has experience of line management and consultancy support of social workers, overseeing the allocation, monitoring of work, ensuring high quality response, analysis, decision making, planning and review in place.

Gifty brings over 20 years’ experience of social work and youth work to her role as a volunteer at Survivors Can Shine. 

"I feel privileged to be a volunteer for Survivors Can shine as I believe in its vision and mission of helping children, and victims of all types of abuse to have a voice. This is of greater significance in light of continuous failures of services over the last decade resulting in sadly children and their families not being heard and unnecessary loss of life. It gives me great pleasure to give back to a grassroots organisation like this, I have every confidence in Rosa and her Ambassadors to drive the organisation reaching out to children and young people through schools and the community, positively impacting lives and creating much needed change".
