Meet more of my speakers!
I’m introducing four more members of my Scott Media’s Speakers’ group this week.
Meet Sean Harper –
Sean Harper manages Just for Fun Holiday Club, an OFSTED registered organisation spanning four Swindon venues. The club creates an inclusive environment for children aged between four to 13 where they can be involved in sports, arts and crafts, competitions, challenges and much more in Swindon during the school holidays.
Sean is driven by a passion for providing these opportunities for children for an array of engaging activities. He is also committed to health and is involved in the HAF programme where freshly prepared meals are provided daily for children and those on low income are funded by the government. The funding covers four hours a day but Sean and his team do not differentiate and all children receive the same care and experience for a whole ‘day’.
Just for Fun Holiday Club has established an excellent reputation, boasting over 170 5-star reviews from parents.
Each day at the holiday club is themed, offering a diverse range of experiences: water fights, nerf battles, movie nights with popcorn, and visits from local emergency services. Under Sean’s leadership, the club aims to create memorable moments within a fun and safe environment for children during their holiday breaks.
This year, Sean ran in the London Marathon, raising money for The Platform Project in Swindon.
