Charmaine Lawrence

Magazine founder and former youth worker becomes Youth Development Manager at longstanding youth services in St Paul’s. Full Circle, who have been providing youth services to the young people of St Paul’s for more than four decades, has appointed a new Youth Development

Manager in November 2020. Chairmaine Lawrence is a former youth worker, who herself attended the St Paul’s Family Camping Project (as it was formerly known) when she was a young person. She is also the founder of Mogul Magazine, the first ever BAME-led digital magazine for entrepreneurs and creatives in the Southwest region of the UK. “I am very excited to be Full Circle’s new Youth Development Manager. For years I have worked in the local community within various roles, including many years working at Full Circle as a youth worker and session leader. It has always been a desire of mine to help develop Full Circle and the services we provide. When I was younger, I used the services and attended the camps, etc. True to the name, I have come Full Circle, and I couldn’t be happier. I will be giving 1000% to this position. It is a great honour to lead the team.” The appointment is part of the charity’s ongoing commitment to the young people of St Paul’s. Docklands Youth and Community Centre, which it manages, has continued to provide activities and youth services throughout lockdown. It recently began Full Circle’s Educate project, a service providing one-to-one Maths and English tuition to young people whose education and wellbeing has been adversely affected by the current lockdown.
