Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hi, my name is Jez. I'm from Whistable, Kent, and this fall I'll be joining the Instructor Training Programme (ITP) as part of 'Rock UK'.

Rock UK is a Christian charity which specialises in outdoor/adventure activities, and is "passionate about developing young people, and bringing adventure into learning in the outdoors to transform lives."

I am extremely thankful to have the opportunity to be part of such an adventure, of which the programme will start September 2017, and proceed to last a year. I will be starting off the course with three months of intensive training in Abernethy, Scotland, where I will not only learn how to teach children to kayak, shoot arrows, and rock climb; but also to help these same children and teenagers push their boundaries, discover new-found confidence, and ultimately, share God's creation with them and the gifts Jesus has given us.

I am very excited to begin this journey, which I'm hoping will have a life-long impact on not only myself, but also on the kids I'll be teaching over the next year-or-so. However, I cannot do all this without your support, and here are the best ways you can do that:

1) Send encouraging messages to myself, and my team, or simply just show interest in what we're doing.

2) Give financially - this doesn't just help the other trainees and I, but it also helps Rock UK's bursary fund which gives children who's parents might not necessarily be able to afford for them to join a school trip/ youth-group trip to our facilities. We want everyone to have the possibility to be able to gain from these experiences, not just a few.

3) Prayer - I would like to ask that you pray for strong relationships within our team, our safety, and for passion, wisdom and guidance to be put in us so that we can really help the next generation.

Thank you for your support!
