National Coordinator
London Sport
Originally from Devon but now trying life in the big smoke... I try to run everywhere I can! My passion for The Daily Mile comes from the fundamentally simple belief that being active makes you feel better, both physically and mentally, whatever your age! So when better to start then primary school?
Northern Coordinator
GreaterSport
I was born in Birmingham, but quickly lost the accent as I moved to Manchester – now with a strong northern accent I fit the title of The Daily Mile Northern Coordinator. I have seen first-hand the positive impact The Daily Mile initiative can have on pupils and staff, and I am excited to see more schools sign up.
Local Coordinator
Active Essex
A Sports Coaching graduate with a passion for physical activity! I enjoy football, whether its going to see West Ham or managing my Sunday side. I’m excited to get going and work with all the Essex Schools!

Sadly, I am not a northerner but studied in Leeds and loved it so much that I moved back up North! I enjoy a range of sports including gymnastics, netball, hockey and competitive cheerleading.
