You Change Lives!

It’s National Volunteers Week 1-7 June, and it’s a great time to say a Big Thank You to all the volunteers across South Staffordshire who pitch in, and make a difference to the lives of the local community. We salute you all!

If you do any volunteering or voluntary work at all, formal or informal, you probably already know what you do can change lives. If you are considering doing some voluntary work within the community, no matter how small you think it might be, you will improve the life of someone in your area.

How good is that! If you want some other good ideas to help you (or someone you know to get involved, here’s a few ideas.

We have over 300 volunteers and there are lots of reasons for giving up their time. Here are some of the reasons why people volunteer..... Top ten of volunteering 1. It's good for you. (and it’s not a salad!) It can reduce stress and can make you healthier!

2. It can make more of existing resources.

3. Volunteers can gain professional experience – might help in job hunting 4. It brings people together and it can be very good fun, you can make real friends.

5. It promotes personal growth and self esteem – you can use existing skills.

6. Volunteering strengthens your community.

7. You learn a lot.

8. You get a chance to give back.

9. Volunteering encourages responsibility.

10 You make a difference. Thank you. Every person counts!

Age UK South Staffordshire has a great range of volunteer opportunities, for further information contact us at www.ageuk.org.uk/southstaffs or 01785 788 496/483 or 472

At Smartkids we tailor the learning for our children so that we can develop truly independent learners. Our children come to us for tuition in all subjects; Computer Skills, Maths, English, SATs practice, 11+ tuition Languages and GCSE are just some of the subjects they study. We even run a homework club staffed by our qualified teachers. This not only helps the children, but is also great for their parents as it takes the stress away from them.

We use computers to deliver our learning programmes. What makes us different is that many of our learners are working towards nationally recognised computer qualifications, and although many of them are still very young, they pass GCSE equivalent exams. With no exam nerves whatsoever, our success rate is 100%.

All our learners are supported by “helpers”; older students who have passed their computer exams with us, and who now work as mentors for the younger ones.

We also specialise in helping children with learning difficulties. Although they love learning, they often come because they find school frustrating and at Smartkids they can learn in a relaxed environment with teachers who understand their needs. To quote one of our children “I really love coming here because it’s so fun that it doesn’t feel like you’re learning but you are really!”

PGA Golf Tips from Jeremy Nicholls at South Staffs Golf Club Academy.....

Leg Action in the Golf Swing This month we will look at the role of the legs which is an important component of the golf swing. Do not underestimate the role they play, they act as a support mechanism for your golf swing. Remembering the point they should be supportive rather than active. Too much leg movement will result in the upper body having to compensate which will lead to inconsistent shots.

So lets look at how we can create a good platform for your swing.

•At address ensure feet are shoulder width apart, knees slightly flexed, with knees pointing out towards the toes.

•During the backswing retain the right knee flex as this will help the arms and club stay on the correct swing plane (path of the club).

•The left foot stays planted as you start the downswing, this helps you start the downswing correctly and gives you extra power.

•During the downswing do not let your legs drive towards the target, let them stay under your hips as you rotate into the impact and through to the finish.
