@Jodurie I've only just seen this. So sad. I never got to spend lots of time with Alan, however, I always loved spending time with him when we met and always learnt loads. His impact on tennis was huge and will also continue.
Jo.. thoughts are with you and his family.
2024 kicks of with holiday sport camps.
Wall climbing a big hit.. although hide a seek still a winner.
Pictures.. M on climbing wall, L winning at hide and seek, and the floods (out of bounds for hide and seek!)
Delivering in 28 schools. 300+ children in the year. Holiday programme launched. Football club formed. Activity days. New offer for children not in education.
Thanks to the coaches and the young people. Fantastic work.

Activity Day on Malvern Hills with 16 young people covering 9k and learning about navigation. Great to deliver in partnership with @corelogic_uk and their team - providing expertise, support, and loads of food! @ActiveHW @WorcsChildren
Happy Friday! Busy week.. Great work coach/mentors. More to come.. activity day on Malvern Hills Wednesday, holiday programme filling up fast, and 27 schools confirmed for September ๐
My initial thought on this.. Including people isn't hard once you genuinely make it your priority. Business as usual with a nod to inclusion won't do it. Stopping what you are doing and going after it with ambition, resources, and ongoing commitment will. https://t.co/3PuWfMfpYg
Last week we formed a football club - so many of the young people we work with find it hard to join a regular local team ๐ค.
Last Thursday we had one player.. this week we had 3.
Team news - H has moved from assistant coach to player/coach ๐
Many kids are keen to play football. But it's hard to get into a team if, for 1 reason or another, you're late starting.
So we're starting a football club! 1st practice last night - 1 player 1 coach!
If we are genuine about including people we must offer pathways to catch up.
