Alex is the Project Coordinator for the Saturday Club. He ensures that there are enough student volunteers to allow adults with learning difficulties to participate in various trips and activities.
During the summer Alex drove the minibus for the Pitstop project, taking children with learning difficulties away on a five day trip. The student volunteers were able to give parents some much needed respite.
