Paul has been a volunteer for eight years now leading activity and sport sessions for pupils at various after-school clubs at Christie Park Primary School.
With plenty of valued support from Active Schools and the Head Teacher, Paul has encouraged pupils so much so that he had 668 attendances at the 48 sessions he managed last year and has also persuaded other school staff and parents to get involved.
“Active Schools has been great. They have managed to get me loads of great equipment – more than I could have hoped for, and have encouraged me to go through various coaching courses. Oscar visits my clubs to lend a hand and give support and advice. Without the help from Active Schools I’d probably just be doing football after school.”
With help from Active Schools Paul has been trained to deliver numerous sporting activities and regularly takes four or five after school clubs in the school each week e.g. Athletics, Hockey, Netball and Football clubs.
