About Oyster: Kay, Maurice and Paul formed Oyster Training and Creative Solutions in 2001. Each have résumés that highlight the wealth of experience they bring together as Oyster. All three have worked in the voluntary, private and public sectors. The three partners, each a qualified educator, underpin their work with a shared belief in the importance of inclusion, with a house specialism in services for children and young people.

Paul: Okay football's not exactly my thing but children's right to play is. My bit of this gig is to go to Gambia for a week set up an adventure playground, swat mosquitos and do some safeguarding training. We're doing this in a part of the world that really needs it. All children deserve a safe and happy childhood wherever they grow up.

Kay: Football is my thing but so is play so double bubble Gambia! Us Oyster folk know a thing or two about play so sharing that with the children of Gambia seems like a good idea. Hope you think so too.
