Rotarians try to improve people’s lives. Vernon has been volunteering at King Offa since 2013, initially as a Reading Partner.
In 2015 a member of staff found out that he had other skills and asked him to help to build kit car. Since then 32 pupils have taken part, building 11 cars.
Vernon said, “It is rewarding to see children developing their talents and a reminder to me that what appears simple to me is only because of years of practice. It is an opportunity for young people to learn new practical skills but also how to work together as a team; to find out that everything doesn't always go right first time and there is almost always more than one way to complete a task. I hope that some of them will continue to with a career in engineering.”
If anyone else would like to know more about this fulfilling role and the opportunity to help with other kit car building, please let us know.
