I contacted Craig earlier this week to ask if he knew anything about how much longer my PVG was going to be as I was starting to get worried about making up my 30 hours. He then got back to me and he contacted Disclosure Scotland for me. We then found out that my check had been approved and my updated PVG would be with me in a few days. I have since then received my PVG. Im finally excited to be able to start my placement in the schools.

Craig has been good with emailing me with many opportunities. I am going to be attending 2 clubs within schools next week. One of the clubs is an Archery Club at Fallin Primary School and is aimed at primary 6/7. I am looking forward to assisting Craig at this club as archery isn’t something I have ever been able to take part in. So I am looking forward to seeing how it is done. Theres also another club which is a multi sports club at Raploch Community Campus. This involves children playing sports such as football, Boccia, athletics and many other sports.Im also looking forward to this opportunity as ill be able to assist in giving the children something to do during their lunchtime. This may also allow for children to take interest in new sports and try new things.

Also next Friday I am attending a Boccia Festival at the Peak as an event assistant. This is being run by Scottish Disability Sport and Active Stirling. This event is on for 4 hours so this is a good opportunity to get a good few hours in. Im looking forward to this event as I enjoyed having a taster of Boccia at the previous parasport event.

I look forward to writing more next week once I’ve got out into the schools and helped at the event. Im just so glad I can finally start. Better late than never!
