Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison paid a visit to the Tigers Trust to surprise Kayleigh Jackson with a commendation for her incredible work with the organisation.
Initially a participant in Tigers Trust activities in Hull, Kayleigh joined the staff and rose through the ranks to her current position as head of community, engagement and safeguarding.
Using her own lived experience, Kayleigh has made a significant impact on individuals and groups through her work with Tigers Trust, an independent charity associated with Hull City.
“I’m massively proud,” Kayleigh said. “But it’s not just me – it’s the fantastic team that we’ve got at the organisation. Everybody is in it for the right reasons, everybody wants to make a difference in the local community.
“We’re just in the fortunate that we’re employed by Tigers Trust and able to live and breathe the values of the organisation. The team do that day in, day out.
Kayleigh was nominated for her commendation by Olly Burdett of Future Humber, whose submission included: “She leads with empathy, consistency and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by children and young people who are often on the margins.
“Through her work, young people are better supported to stay engaged, improve their wellbeing and make more positive choices.
“Kayleigh’s impact goes beyond programmes and sessions, she sets the tone for good practice, puts people first and makes a lasting difference in the communities across our region.”
