Keith Barnes

Keith is a youth worker attached to Bournemouth Community Church.  He energises, teaches, supports the local kids in all sorts of activities.  Is sport mad & plays footie with the boys as well as other sports.& formed a community football team.  He's a role model for these kids & is very hands on with them.  Runs two youth clubs in the evenings, takes them to camp & is a big kid himself with a huge heart for kids.  He's always there with a listening ear for their problems to help & encourage.  He leads from the front & is a good example in his own lifestyle. Helping them to have their own goals to attain as they grow up in this very demanding world. When I asked if it was OK to nominate him he said that he would be privileged to just be nominated & would consider it a great honour to run with the Olympic torch.  Keith is a great guy, the kids love & respect him.  Loads of personality too!
