Tom Manning

Doing my best for Godalming's young people

Hello! I've been a Youth Worker since I 'got too old for the youth club' and refused to leave :) I now work as Head of Godalming Youth Service, which means I do all the boring (err, I mean important... ) paperwork behind the scenes. I started here in 2022 and set up the youth service. I really like when we do holiday activities because it means I can get out of the office. I love being involved in all things creative, gaming and coming up with silly team games! I also do a lot of minibus driving on trips out. Come up and say hello, and please let me know if you have any ideas for future youth projects.

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
