Sports Assistant

I am looking for people who are willing to help me to make a real difference in people’s lives in tendering by helping me run a few small sports groups for people with learning disabilities and mental health problems. About 2 percent of the population in England have a learning disability and one in three of that population say they do not have any contact with a friend. We hope by starting up these groups we can get people involved in doing the things they love and want to do and most importantly find friendship. One in four people will experience some kind of mental health problem during the course of a year. This can be a life changing experience and also a shattering one. Being part of these groups can really help people get their lives back on track and give them a purpose, a goal and also friends to help and support that person though hard times. All I am asking you to do as a volunteer is to come to one or some of these groups with me to lend a helping hand. Of course, enjoy yourself by getting involved in the activities and having a laugh with the people we work with. It’s really not hard work if you love exercise and sports. And I promise you, you will be making a massive difference in someone’s life.
