week 127 – some weeks are just the serious stuff ❤️🏹

The individual is at the heart of everything that I do and I choose people to work with me who do the same, it allows me to put the right coach in the right group.

A focus for me will always be welfare and safeguarding because without this nothing else will function.

I thought I would explain how that impacts my week, so in the last 3 weeks I have:

Attended the latest East Midlands Welfare virtual meeting, been interviewed on BBC radio Northamptonshire as part of the day of disability special, delivered my last session for 2024 at DISC, attended Corby Archers to deliver archery England federation cross awards to their juniors, attended a virtual meeting with white ribbon UK looking at gender based violence in education settings, attended an event hosted by the children’s society and Ivison Trust on the topic of child exploitation for sports clubs and organisations, attended a workshop hosted by BEAT around eating disorders and the festive period and joined in on the reclaim the night march in Northampton.

The other stuff I do, go to work, shoot, manage and review events delivered by coaches on behalf of Integr8archery CIC and spend time with my family, including my regular weekend with mum, all continued too.

Not everything I do sees me post photos, and it may not all seem exciting but it is all very much worth my time to keep everyone safe.

See you all on a range soon and if you are about, at the indoor nationals for certain ❤️🏹
