Getting ready, set-up for Camera - ACTION.

Okay it wasn’t exactly a ticker tape parade success …..But I think we all know once the broken bits are fixed this will be one fabulous teaching tool.

I should think this is similar to what Mr J.Baird said about the first TV set.

We entered what was ...

At early o’clock we got up and got ready to go to the school and were taken straight to the place to set up camp for the day.

We were working with year 8, aged 12 to 13, it was thesecond time I’d visited this school. The majority of class pupils were very good with some that stood out. It was odd that the groups who engaged with me and asked the most challenging questions were led byt he same teachers whose pupils did the same...

Since beginning with some very noble aspirations in 2004, with the help and inspiration of Helen Sage and her disabled son David, the Enable Me Project has continued to go from strength to strength and the last twelve months have been no exception in that regard.

I’m delighted to report that what has been achieved by ‘Enable Me’ during that time has been absolutely incredible - both in terms of the excellent project w...

Calling for feedback from any parents of children who have been attending any of the Sports Clubs clubs we have run this year ...

Swasie Turner, MBE, the charity patron, held the Enable Me assembly, both captivating ...

Not wishing to get sentimental but Warden Park School stands out for me, not just because of past time spent at a school similar to this just down the road, but this was the venue of my first presentation. It seemed that there was quite a range of colourful wall finishes and carpets. My recollection of my school days seemed to be filled with dark coloured walls, corridors and vinyl floors.

On an overcast, damp Wednesday 22nd June, we travelled over to Harting Primary School near Petersfield to work as part of the Enable me team.

I don’t recall my time at primary school, but can only hope it was like here... However I seem to have a picture of ‘Sir’ being a rather crusty, black-clad individual with mortar board hat, brandishing a thin cane - feared and revered by all, a character from ...

Well it’s the time of year again where the hard winter in the gym will hopefully start too pay of and the annual trip to Monte Gordo in Portugal for the BWAA (British WheelchairAthletics Association) warm weather training camp.

We met up at Gatwick all ready and raring to go, but one of the party was late, this person is often late and not very organised and this was again proven when she walked into the airport in a huff b...
