Connections, charities and testimonials

---

Over the years I have been fortunate to meet and be supported by many wonderful people, many of whom I now call my friends.  Some work in areas I think may be of interest to those I am providing my services to, so they are listed here. Please feel free to contact them direct, or to talk to me further about what they may be able to offer.

I often volunteer my services for charities  

and raise and donate funds through my fitness work several good causes.  I've recently volunteered at the Good Support Group, working with individuals with a range of disabilities including MS and spinal cord injuries and attended a local Autism Support Group to talk about exercise and basic nutrition. 

I was on the board of the charity Amigos de Chocola for  14 years, since its inception in 2006 by a small group of volunteers who attended an Earthwatch archaeological project in 2005, of which I was one. We work to support the young people of the community by providing educational scholarships and resources for the local schools and library. I have been supporting two students who's dreams are to be a nurse and a doctor to help their community and donate every year from my corporate session income . 

I have volunteered at the St Mungo's charity, delivering mobility and motivation sessions as part of their Recovery College programme. It's rewarding for me to give something back and the seated sessions mean participants can come in whatever they want. 

Thanks to my community participants in Beckton, Recovery College participants enjoyed a healthy lunch at two Christmas sessions in 2019. 

I hope to return to teaching one day, in the meantime - this year after my dad passed away, I donated some of his clothes to their winte appeal during the COVID crisis

At Eat2BFit, Dave helps to take the confusion out of nutrition, which is an essential part to wellness. Any lifestyle change or exercise plan needs the proper nourishment and Dave can help you work to achieve your lifestyle goals. Like me, he is developing a new on line offer after working in the personal training industry for over 30 years.I have found his food diary helpful in identifying how I can improve my own eating habits, especially on the days I'm rushing around teaching and am looking to include this in my one to one personal training sessions.
