Sports for Schools This social enterprise brings the country’s
top athletes into primary schools to inspire children to be more active. The workshop is typically a half-day event, where the athlete runs a fun fitness circuit and delivers an inspirational assembly. To date, the scheme has reached two million children and helped schools raise £3million for new sports equipment through an initiative that sees a percentage of money raised returned to the school.

Following a talk and demonstration for the whole school, he holds multiple one-hour workshops throughout the day, for 30 to 60 children per session.
