I was asked to photograph a group of disabled students from a local school doing their Work Experience at O2 Preston Brook. O2 has supported this local school the last 3 years and giving them opportunity to experience life within O2. This is only possible due to the amount of staff who volunteer every year to help out and mentor these students. The staff from the school and also the employees within O2 providing such amazing enthusiasm and support as the students go round and meet new faces.
There were 4 main organisers this year who helped make this possible, they were Simone from HR, Sandra who started this whole scheme and initially made this possible, Philippa (both from Customer Services) and Andy - Trainer from Learning & Development. The hard work they put in and all the planning and organising with the school make this the success it was.
It was SUCH a fun couple of days. The students went from being shy and introvert to totally the opposite. It was absolutely fantastic to be part of.
O2 gave each student at the end of their Work Experience a new phone and a pay as you go sim card - they were delighted with them as you can see!
We then had a mini awards ceremony and handed out ceritifcates and gifts - Thank you to Nick Fogarty who presented this. As you can see I think he was loving the camera (along with Andy) a little TOO much!
Thank you all for an amazing time, for allowing me to capture it all and here's to another successful year in 2010! Let's get organising now eh!!
