OCL boosts outreach scheme Luke Lancaster (above right) in action
Young Pioneers help to tackle childhood obesity
An 18-year-old whose programme has helped to tackle childhood obesity, and assisted more than 5,000 young people in leading healthier lifestyles, has received an award from Prime Minister David Cameron. Luke Lancaster is the country’s youngest
voluntary sector chief executive and set up the Young Pioneers charity back in 2008, after bullying left him feeling isolated. He was presented with a Prime Minister’s
Points of Light award, recognising his volunteering efforts and anti-bullying work. Young Pioneers’ Be Healthy programme
sees youth trainers go into schools to teach the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. SportsArt supports the programme
by donating a percentage of every equipment sale to the charity. Details:

Oldham Community Leisure (OCL) has appointed two new health and physical activity development officers to its health and wellbeing team. The officers will be tasked with operating two of OCL’s outreach schemes. Julie Hilditch has been promoted to manage the Kids Active Zone. In April 2014, OCL launched the new junior exercise referral scheme, through which Oldham children registering a ‘very overweight’ reading in the national measurement scheme will be offered free or heavily subsidised memberships Hilditch has worked at OCL for more than
20 years as a swimming instructor. She also has two decades’ experience as a health and social care worker within the NHS, so is well placed to provide valuable oversight. Meanwhile, Peter Wolstenholme is the first full-time officer of OCL’s in-house GP referral scheme, and has been appointed due to an increase in referrals. OCL’s exercise referral scheme works with 17 GP surgeries, offering support to patients with various medical conditions. Once referred, patients receive a
consultation, health check and 12-week plan, plus access to subsidised physical activities. Wolstenholme is a qualified gym instructor and personal trainer and has worked at OCL for more than five years, as a fitness team leader as well as a class instructor. Details:

Sarah Edmonds joins Trainer Premier Global
Premier Global, the parent group of Premier Training International and Active IQ, has appointed Sarah Edmonds as head of standards and compliance, tasked with driving forward qualification and programme standards. Edmonds has worked in the active leisure
industry for more than 20 years and joins the company from her role as interim head of CYQ at Central YMCA Qualifications.
Having begun her career as a dance and fitness instructor, Edmonds then became a vocational tutor before moving on to quality assurance and compliance in the arena of examinations and awarding. Thanks to these roles, Edmonds has extensive knowledge of government regulated vocational qualifications, which Premier believes makes her ideally suited to the new role. Details:
