I'm a long-distance runner by trade, and have experience of leading several social running groups of varying abilities. I was the Founder and President of the University of Huddersfield Athletics Club, where I led training sessions and encouraged participation, as well as leading a weekly running group at my previous employer, Manchester Metropolitan University. Aside from my running, I have volunteered at several different charities and organisations, from facilitating quizzes and games for residents at Leonard Cheshire, who provide support for physically disabled adults, to helping with the maintenance and gardening at Kirkburton Church's grounds. I think my skills and background from both my running and my volunteering go hand-in-hand for adding value to the team!
