Newham changemaker
During the day, Bisi works at a Newham primary school organising activities for pupils before and after school. In the evenings, at weekends and during school holidays, she helps people of all ages to become more active in her role as a sports coach and group exercise instructor.
“My role in the primary school is to provide pupils with opportunities to become more active before and after school. This may be the only chance these pupils have to participate in sports and activities outside of school. They are provided in a safe and friendly environment and delivered by a familiar face. My short term goal is to create a love of being active. In the longer term, I hope that being healthy becomes part of their every day life.”
