Gordon, Karen, Angela have been volunteering with the Aberlady Jog Club for a number of years, with Sam, Hilary and Kirsty recently joining the team. Every Thursday morning before school, our outstanding team of volunteers lead a group of more than 30 pupils through a series of fun and energising running-based games and activities. Each member of the team plays their part in creating a supportive and inclusive environment, encouraging all participants to get involved and give their best effort every week.

 

Their positive energy and enthusiasm is infectious and it’s a joy to see how much the pupils enjoy taking part in the sessions. In June 2022, the Jog Club volunteers delivered the Aberlady Gala Week Fun Run for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 50 children from P2-P7 took part in the event which included a short run through the Aberlady Nature Reserve, followed by games and activities on the beach. With lots of support from parents and carers, the event was a huge success and a brilliant demonstration of Aberlady’s thriving community spirit.

 

The Aberlady Jog Club provides a fantastic opportunity for children to be more active, develop valuable skills, build their confidence, improve their fitness and have fun with their friends. Our volunteers are integral to the ongoing success of the Jog Club and they have undoubtedly had an immeasurable impact both within the school and the local community. It is a true community club and it would not be possible without the continuous dedication and support from the team of volunteers.

 

Fantastic work, well deserved!
