Alice Carter – an SDC graduate and current Masters student – will be leading the sessions and she has invited any current School of Sport & Exercise students to join her. The role will involve helping to devise sessions which allow young people to gain some basic coaching/leadership skills and then also helping to deliver them. The commitment is only for four afternoons and it would be an excellent opportunity to work alongside – and learn from – someone whose extensive volunteering experience has been recognised through a number of local and national awards.
