MBE for our client - Rhiannon Holder

South Gloucestershire employee and client of Focus, Rhiannon Holder, 22, has been awarded an MBE in recognition of services to young people’s healthcare.

Rhiannon, who was named on the New Years Honours list, is employed as a project worker (teenage pregnancy) by South Gloucestershire Council and has been volunteering since she was 15 to offer advice to young people on a range of issues.

Rhiannon is now offering advice and support through the No Worries scheme to help reduce teenage pregnancies by increasing young people’s participation in the project and ensuring that services are young people friendly.

Rhiannon is using the No Worries website, which was designed and developed by Focus, to support the work carried out by the scheme by ensuring it is a useful resource with up to date and relevant content.

The site can be accessed via the Youth Unlimited site, which promotes positive activities for young people, in and around South Gloucestershire.

She said: “I've always been very passionate about young people's health. Just because I've got an MBE doesn't mean I'm going to stop the good work I am currently involved with at South Gloucestershire Council. Teenage pregnancy rates are falling nationally but there is still a lot of work to do to give young people the sex education, clinics and services they need to make informed choices.”

The No Worries site will soon be updated with a tailored search of information from 1 Big Database. Rhiannon will be able to login to the directory and flag which records she would like to be available via the No Worries site – ensuring that only the most relevant information is returned.
