It has been just over a year since Access Sport & PSD embarked on a partnership together.  In celebration of our first year working together, we reflect upon just what a great year it has been!

The PSD team have done a wonderful job, raising some incredible sums of money in a variety of fun ways, including the Christmas party, pancake day and bake sale – to name a few, raising a fantastic £3,800.

Furthermore, a special thank you goes to two members of the team who went above and beyond, running the Hackney Half in April in aid of Access Sport. Both Dominic and Adrien managed to complete the course in impressive times of under 2 hours and they received incredible support from colleagues, friends and family, raising £1125!   

                                             

Shortly after the Hackney Half Marathon, we invited James Cook MBE and Natasha Patterson of Pedro Youth Club in Hackney to PSD’s quarterly staff drinks, to share with their team what a genuine difference their support is making. Pedro Youth Club has been supported by Access Sport’s Better Futures programme, and Natasha gave a wonderful insight into the amazing work they are doing at the club to engage local young people in the heart of Clapton, East London. 

We are very grateful for PSD’s support over the last twelve months, and we’re very much looking forward to the year ahead! It appears the diary is already filling up, with an International Lunch AND a Strawberries and Crème fete on the cards, as well as 5 brave members of the PSD team abseiling down the Olympic Arcelor Mittal in Stratford this September…!
