Alan (Big Al) Cargill is a member of the Project Worker team here at Barnardo’s Works West.
He leads our Cashback For Communities funded Head2Work programme which specialises in getting young people involved in team building and employability projects, and getting them out and active with trips to events and activities beyond our offices!
Al also delivers Barnardo’s Wellbeing groups in north Ayrshire. This is a 4 week course, aimed at those furthest removed from work, based on confidence building and helping young people take the first steps in their employability journey.
Fun Fact: In his spare time Alan loves to ride motorcycles and go camping with his old dog Rosie
