RS121 Performance Coaching isn’t just a job for me — it’s something I’ve built from the ground up over the last few years with one goal in mind: giving children a safe, positive place to enjoy football, build confidence, and feel supported.

Every session, camp, and SEN activity relies heavily on my ability to travel and on the equipment I bring with me. Unfortunately, on Monday 26th, while travelling to coaching, I was involved in a serious road traffic collision. It was a high-speed, high-impact accident that caused major damage to my van and essential coaching equipment.

While I’m incredibly grateful to have walked away and to be on the road to recovery, the accident has had a huge knock-on effect. Without a reliable vehicle and the right equipment, I’m unable to run sessions consistently — which directly affects the children and families who rely on RS121 week in, week out.

I’ve always tried to give back where possible, including running free camps for families who need them and SEN sessions to make sure football is accessible to everyone. Asking for help doesn’t come easily, but right now I need support to be able to:

• Get safely back on the road

• Replace damaged or lost coaching equipment

• Keep sessions, camps, and community work running

This fundraiser isn’t about profit — it’s about keeping something positive alive for the children who look forward to these sessions every week.

Any support, whether that’s a donation, a share, or kind words, truly makes a difference and helps me get back to doing what I love.

Thank you for believing in RS121 and for being part of this journey
