Phil Morris

My name is Phil and a I am a Senior Personal Advisor in the team. I started working in the Leaving Care team in 2009.

I have previously worked as -

• a Youth Worker
• a Care Officer in Children's Homes across Hull
• a Shift manager/Co-ordinator at a Secure Children's Home

I work at Room 42 with the Young Peoples Regeneration Champions.

We support young people to get active, engage with support and work towards achieving employment. We support young people to have a voice and influence on the services and support available to young people in Hull.

We are also active members of the Young Peoples Bench Marking Forum which brings young people together from all over the country and influences support and services nationally. I believe that young people are awesome and that by being proactive and overcoming barriers, they can reach their potential.

Quick facts about me -

• I have a pug called Dorothy

• I love music (all kinds)
• I have short hair (I am not Bald)
• I like to raise money for charity and want to encourage young people to be active in the communities that they live
