This month, we would like to introduce you to Dan Rogers, who is our Activity Buddy Scheme Coordinator.
Hi, I've worked for North Northamptonshire Council since the 1st April 2024. The Activity Buddy scheme has been created to assist adults (18+) experiencing challenges that stop you from participating in sport or active wellbeing sessions. This could be anything from a physical restriction, anxiety, depression or a perceived lack of ability to name a few. Keep on reading to learn more about me.
What is the most rewarding part of your job?
The most rewarding part of my job is identifying and helping people to overcome their worries and anxieties in order to help them live a more satisfying and healthier lifestyle.
How do you unwind after work?
I unwind by hitting the gym myself and then relaxing at home with my wife and four very active children!
Which flavour of ice cream do you prefer?
There is only one flavour of ice cream isn't there? Cookie Dough!
Since Activity Buddy Scheme started in April, we have already had 18 people join us on the scheme. We will match you with like-minded buddies or volunteers in an activity of your choice - supporting you to be more active and providing a friendly, safe and fun atmosphere to build your confidence.
