Carl talks about the basketball club he has been running for seven years offering opportunities for the community to get involved in sport. He believes young people are still very interested in sport however there is probably less access these days.
Carl explains the importance of playing sport and the lessons that people can learn during sports activity including discipline, meeting new people and learning from others.
Carl talks about his volunteering for the Black Training Enterprise Group (BTEG) and how he got involved with the organisation and the positive impact it has had on his life.
Carl tells us about his motivation for producing an eight week youth mentoring programme, the successes that came out of the programme and his plans for the programme moving forward.
Carl gives us his view on how parents can help their children's education by getting involved in schools, parent governors etc and having positive interactions with schools.
If you are interested in volunteering Carl talks about how he started and how you could start doing something similar.
