Overseas students put Bradby Club heroes in spotlight for project in Rugby
Bradby Club heroes were put in the spotlight for a project at Rugby School.
Children from Spain and Italy stayed at the school recently as part of the Academy Colleges and Education (ACE) programme to support young people through mentorship, sports, and educational initiative, developed by the Dusemond Joe Abercrombie.
Each team was given one of ten heroes from the club, a vital local voluntary youth service, to interview and then feature in a four minute documentary.
Tina Broad, Bradby Management Committee Trustee, said: “The teams had a team captain from the Bradby Club, who are current children who are using the Bradby Club who invited to participate in the week’s activities and excursions.
"The heroes and family and friends were interviewed on stage at the Temple Speech Room at Rugby school in a ‘This is Your Life’ style live show. It was hosted by the esteemed presenter Angela Lamont.” Teams were voted on and each team received prizes, certificates and trophies.
“The overall winner’s documentary was the current Rugby Mayor and Bradby Club President Barbara Brown,” Tina said.
"All of the Bradby Club children had a fabulous experience. There was plenty of laughter and new friends made too.”
The Dusemond donated £3,000 on the night and their owner Rupert Gill-Braun was so impressed by the children and staff and their professionalism he personally donated a further £3,000 to the club.
