    I have been responsible for the management of the free shop ran by Refugee4Refugees in Samos, Greece. This involves ensuring that vast quantities of non-food donations are distributed in an equal and timely manor to 4500 refugees living in the camp in Vathi. Responsibilities included managing stock, planning future distributions such as Diaper and shoe distributions. I was also responsible for writing reports for donors of the organisation, as well as managing a team of 40 volunteers. This included writing schedules, planning transports, and looking after volunteer wellbeing.

    Due to a shortage of staff, for several weeks I stepped up to be responsible for children's activities at the camp which involved sports, crafts, and music. This required risk management as well as addressing welfare issues.
