Tanya Jamieson

Hi I am Tanya Jamieson(Owner/volunteer), thank you so much for taking the time to read and find out more about The S.E.T.T ( Supportive, Encouraging, Togetherness, Team).

I have had a successful career working for Bury Citizens Advice for 21 years as a Community Outreach Coordinator and Adviser. During my time working in the community, I was saddened by how many young adults in Bury struggle with anxiety, depression, and isolation. How despondent they felt and how little appropriate support they could access.

I have a husband and 2 children a daughter 24 years old and son 16 years old, who I am extremely proud of. Through them, I have learned a great deal about the challenges modern society plays in young people’s lives. I believe that being positive and kind to one another will make the world a better place.

I also volunteer at my local community center food bank as being a part of my community is very important to me.

I have a degree in Fashion & Design, HND level certificate in Advice Work, Level 2 certificates in Mental Health Awareness, Mental Health First Aid in the workforce, Counselling, and Food Hygiene.

I believe young adults need to feel a sense of belonging, not to be judged, to be accepted for who they are, not what society expects them to be. That is why I, along with Janice, set up this amazing Community friendship group.
