Fleckney coach Tony Kerr started his coaching business during covid lockdown, taking people out one-to-one canoeing or kayaking, climbing or just walking. Now his work has been recognised at this year's 'UK Coaching Awards', with Tony winning the 'Change a Life' category for his work with helping those with mental health issues - particularly youngsters. Each year sport coaches from across the UK are honoured at the event - which this year celebrates its 25th year. Tony explains more about his work, and his delight at winning the award.
