Alex Bicknell

Youth Development Consultant

Hi everyone, I’m Alex and am fairly new to ECHO and ETC! Hopefully, I have already met some of you during the open day at Evelina or perhaps the great Summer Party we recently had.

A bit about me…I’m 26, I work in finance and live in central London. I enjoy tennis, badminton, going to the cinema and, of course, meeting new people!

Since 13 years old, I have had 4 heart surgeries so I can hopefully understand some of the difficulties and worries that you will all inevitably have. Perhaps, it is about going away without your parents and are worried about your medication, how other kids may see you or even have questions about an operation that you might have to have soon. I may not have every answer, but I can provide some advice support or at the very least, point you in the right direction for advice.

If you have any thoughts on what you would like to do with ETC, please let me know. Perhaps PGL weekend away, cinema, bowling, ice-skating??? All ideas welcome :)

I would really like to hear from all of you, so please send me an email and let me know a bit about you. I am always open to new ideas and am contactable by email alex@echo-teen-club.org.uk.

See you all soon!
