Shauni Thomas

August 2024 Award

Huge congratulations to Shauni Thomas, the latest winner of Wrexham Lager’s F Jones Initiative, 2024-2025 Wrexham Recognition Award.

Shauni is a resident in Caia Park and has been since she was born, here is her story.

“I have been brought up in the @Caia Park Partnership Ltd since I was a teenager in youth clubs. I was able to be a part of youth forums and community work within communities for work with my late Nana.

I became a young single mum when I was a teenager and was adamant it wasn't going to stop me from working within the community. The Caia Park Partnership supported me as a young mum and through my 5 years at university. I got my degree in Youth and Community work. I did my placements and volunteered in the Caia Park Partnership. I then went back to university to do my master’s degree and my PGCE while working within the Caia Park partnership.

I am a very proud parent support worker within Caia. I've been working in the role for 5ish years. I get to support other parents on the estate daily. It's the most rewarding job I can think of and I'm at the heart of Caia Park where we try our best to make positive change and community bonds throughout the estate x.

”Well done, Shauni, you are undoubtedly a massive influence on those around you.
