Borocuda Teesside Amateur Swimming Club

borocuda teesside amateur swimming club

London

B-TASC is a local swimming club which was founded in 2018 by the director of Borocuda swim school who recognised that many of the children coming through the school had potential to continue their journey and grow their love for the sport. The club has a family focussed ethos and a friendly culture which helps to nurture swimmers along their competitive swimming journey. The club has flourished despite the pandemic and now caters to 60 swimmers aged 7-16 across 5 squads. Most recently has been the addition of a disability/para squad which is the only squad of it’s kind within the Teesside area. Swimmers are regularly competing including at county and regional level and the youth squad recently competed in the Northumberland and Durham Junior Swim League and won, earning promotion to the 2nd League! The club currently operates out of 3 pools across Teesside, including the Unicorn pool in Middlesbrough which was built during the height of the pandemic. It is ran by qualified and experienced coaches and teachers and is primarily volunteer led.

Fluxs Lane

I was first drawn to the healing power of movement in 2008 during my undergraduate degree in Contemporary Dance. I studied therapeutic movement and its effect on emotion. I was lucky to have been invited to visit Kaagvere in Estonia, to volunteer at an institution described as a boarding reformatory school for girls. Many of the young people I encountered here had been exposed to past traumatic events in some cases severe life changing experiences and as a result many faced mental health challenges. It was very humbling to be witness to this short part of their healing journey during my stay in Estonia. I worked alongside a dance and movement therapist to lead daily movement, dance and breathwork as a way for these young people to express emotion, to forge safety amongst their peers and to ground themselves when triggered. I continued my professional training as a dancer for some years after graduating, but this experience stayed with me and very much influenced my journey to becoming a Yoga Teacher and later Yoga Therapist

Independent Schools Football Association

Beaconsfield

ETHOS / AIMS / BELIEFS The Independent Schools Football Association Ltd. (ISFA) is affiliated to The Football Association and is recognised by The FA as the body responsible for the development of the game in the independent sector. ISFA’s ethos is that of an educational organisation. It aims to create opportunities for children within the sector by organising and encouraging competitions, representative teams and development opportunities as well as providing coaching courses and conferences for staff. ISFA believes strongly in football as a vehicle for education and in the importance of Respect and Fair Play. ISFA is a small organisation, with four members of staff and limited financial resources. Consequently, ISFA is heavily dependent on volunteer teachers to deliver its programme; there must therefore necessarily be limitations on what can be delivered, and the Association must set realistic targets. ISFA believes its role is to provide quality competitions, representative football, etc., and aims to encourage and assist its member schools to provide the quantity in terms of participation through regional tournaments, block friendly fixtures, internal school football, etc.

Open Newtown

open newtown

Newtown

Where we came from Back in 2015, the town’s community plan identified our environment and green spaces as important to keep, to make better and to make more use of. In 2016, the opportunity arose for the community to take on the stewardship of 130 acres of the towns parks, open spaces and river frontage. With the support of Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Council this asset was secured on a 99 year lease and subsequent sublease, from Powys County Council. To take this land on – and to work with the community on new ideas and activities – Going Green for a Living Community Land Trust Ltd was formed in 2017. We trade as Open Newtown. Much easier to remember. In 2018 Open Newtown secured a £1.1 million grant from The National Lottery Community Fund Wales as part of their Community Asset Transfer fund to enable it to develop the lands assets and to establish the projects and partnerships that would allow Newtown’s green spaces to be managed in perpetuity for the community. The majority of this funding has been invested in our new community & visitor centre, Hafan Yr Afon. The land is maintained through a Service Level Agreement contract between ourselves and Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Council, to maintain the land to the standards set out in the lease agreement. We are uniquely placed to provide the best value for money on behalf of the community and provide further services in betterment of the agreement, through improved seating, reactive and planned maintenance, Park Ranger services, clearing anti-social hot spots. supporting and leading on new public events, securing 1000’s of volunteer hours, providing training opportunities, all in partnership with local contractors and organisations, along with establishing new relationships with national organisations.

Joy Townsend set up A11 Medical Services Ltd after being a volunteer with St John Ambulance for many years, decided to leave there as she no longer liked the new commercial set up, then worked with a Private Ambulance company for about 5 years as a General Manager and decided it was time to go it alone and start this company to help fill a gap within the Event First Aid Medical field & Training. This was becoming apparent with Event Organisers being let down by the ‘bigger’ National providers. So, this was the beginning of A11 Medical Services Ltd in 2019.

Cook Stars - Hull East and Holderness

I have 2 amazing children Noah and Phoebe who love to help me out in the kitchen and join in with classes and workshops whenever they can. My wonderful husband Andy shares my passion for cooking and enjoying good food. He has been a sweet chef in a Michelin star restaurant but these days he is kept busy preparing ingredients and washing the pots from the Cook Stars sessions. I come from a family of foodies and food lovers. My mum Marion, introduced me to cooking from a very early age when I would often "help her" in the kitchen. She even used to come into my junior school to volunteer to teach baking and ended up doing this for 25 years!! My brother was also inspired and now owns his own Michelin star restaurant! My degree is in Psychology and Sociology but I have always had an interest in learning about food, cooking and sharing my knowledge and skills. I worked in the hospitality industry as a waitress for many years from part time while going through my education to full time as restaurant supervisor and back to being a waitress while starting out in my teaching career. After graduating I moved to Romania for a short time doing charity work in Gypsy villages particularly working with the children within the communities and helping to feed the villagers by making soup twice a week with one of the heads of the village and distributing it to villagers in need. I worked in a local secondary school for 15 years first as a teaching assistant working in a variety of subjects with students with a variety of needs. I completed my training as a Food teacher in 2005, I have taught a variety of food courses in KS3 and KS4. I was head of the D&T faculty and also worked alongside some local primary schools on a variety of projects. On my return to work after having Phoebe I realised that I needed to look at different avenues to regain my work life balance. Cook stars is the perfect opportunity for me to do this. I can do what I truly love which is teaching Kids to cook and encouraging children to enjoy cooking and learning about nutrition.
