LiveArgyll Active Schools

I started in my role as Active Schools Coordinator for Mull & Iona in early 2020 and I love the diversity of my job!

I enjoy working with the local schools to try to improve opportunities in sport and increase enthusiasm amongst local children. My favourite aspects of the job are planning events and gatherings, and the satisfaction that comes from watching the positive impact sport can have on youngsters in general. One of the biggest senses of achievement is watching groups of youngsters you’ve helped train, develop the confidence to run their own sessions!

I enjoy keeping fit myself and have always loved sport and PE since I was in school – my favourite sport is netball, but I will pretty much try my luck at any sport going! Living on Mull I rarely miss an opportunity to get outdoors, and over recent months I have tried kayaking, paddle-boarding, open water swimming and I even managed to climb two Munros! 

If you live on Mull and are keen on sport in any way, or have any ideas which could improve opportunities in sport on the island please get in touch!
