I work part-time as a football referee at weekends, refereeing adult matches and ensuring the game is a fair and enjoyable experience for the players. This is an occupation I have held for over 6 years and is one I have consistently enjoyed, even though some players can make refereeing a tough, yet rewarding job. Since I can remember I have been a part of sports teams, the majority being one of my passions, football. I have also played rugby, cricket, and tennis and played in teams both inside and outside of education. I have also tried to involve myself in campaigns and media as best as I can, I was a part of a project during lockdown to provide hot meals to elderly members of my local community, due to the Covid situation. This both provided them with a nice meal, as well as someone to talk to, following the timely medical and safety procedures to the best of my ability, which is fundamental for a group whose loneliness may have been exacerbated due to covid measures. I also have a car and a clean driving licence so am happy to travel around Manchester.
