Gareth's nomination story

(Commercial Glos & Oxon - Ebico Ltd) During his time at secondary school in Ontario. Canada it was a amnadatory requirements to complete at least 40 hours of community service in order to receive your diploma. Being a sport enthusiast and player of ice hockey and football, he quickly turned his volunteering attention towards coaching and mentoring younger children. He started off soending one evneing a week helping coaches set up for practice, making kids understand the rules of the game and using his own experiences to provide tips whilst playing a little himself. The required 40 hours accumulated very quickly at which point he made the decision to continue in his own free time which lasted for 2 years. This was a valuable contribution to the community, keeping young kids off the streets and providing supervised fun!
