My name is Kenny and I'm 25 years old. I started working with DADS as a volunteer about a year ago. I first heard about DADS when I was playing football at the Vulcan Arena with some friends when this guy came over and told us he had the pitch booked but we could join in if we wanted to. The guys name was Dave Frisby, DADS football outreach worker. He told me all about DADS and what he did and I was very interested as a parent myself and someone who loves to play football I totally appreciated what DADS were trying to do. I spoke to Dave gave up my own free time to go on the road with him on various projects and during this time they put me through my F.A. Level 1 Coaching.

I have worked on various projects with Dave such as the Pearson Park Project on Thursdays and the projects in the Wyke area as well as going into schools and Wolds prison. The most recent project I worked on was the Easter Road Show - 2 weeks of non stop outreach work across Hull engaging 300+ kids aged 5 upwards. The project was a great success and it was great to hear the kids call your name when you see them as you know they look up to you. I cant wait for other projects to come along as I enjoy putting in the time and effort just knowing I'm making an impact on these children.
