Hello, my name is Keith Gabbidon-Thompson. 

As a young man I was presented with many challenges that formed crossroads in my life. Some paths I chose well – and others, not so well.

​

However, I was lucky enough to engage with a youth worker, who mentored me and helped me to make better choices and decisions, which ultimately changed my life and turned me away from a negative path.

I am driven and passionate about presenting positive opportunities for people. By engaging with people at critical times, I can enable them to identify positive paths to take, and encourage them to make the best choices for themselves. I know the difference a supportive mentor can make to a person’s life, because I was once that person, and their support turned my life around.

I am a professional Youth and Community worker with more than 30 years of experience in the field. I am qualified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Coaching and Mentoring, Drug Interventions, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE.s), First Aid for Mental Health, Safeguarding, Expedition Leadership and Cycling Instructor.
