The Outdoor Kids Sun Safety Code is the first sun protection initiative for those who work outdoors with children. Launched in 2014, it is now supported by over 80 National Governing Bodies and outdoor organisations including Premier Sport. This year the Myfanwy Townsend Melanoma Research Fund (the charity behind the initiative) is launching a national survey to investigate the current provision of sun protection for children in the UK.

Survey takes less than one minute!

Premier Sport is supporting the initiative, so we’re urging you to take part. It will take under a minute to complete and is completely anonymous, so please ensure your responses reflect your current practice. The survey link expires on the 6th April. Click HERE to start.

During the NTE, we asked for a show of hands for those that completed their financial accounts on a regular basis. As a rough calculation, only 25% currently complete this task, which is remarkable when this task can HELP you increase efficiency, maximise profitability, control your cash flow and help make business-critical decisions.

The new Finance Manual will cover these in more detail.

As we highlighted in last week’s News Update, the North West network consisting of seven franchisees, worked on the new sales dashboard and sales strategy and have set a target of gaining work in a combined total of 45 new schools from September by increasing the VOLUME of better QUALITY leads.

How? These franchisees will be ASKING their existing schools for referrals and testimonials. But of course, before approaching schools, they will each have a clear sales strategy in place.

Danny Melling has begun discussions with the Forestry Commission to discuss the possibility of a working partnership which would see franchisees delivering activities throughout various sites across the UK.

...Don’t just presume they are!

This week, as part of their strategic work regarding collaborative models, Danny Melling & Yvonne Gandy met with a head teacher and his PE leader.

Neither the head teacher nor PE leader were aware of Premier Sport and the work we do, despite the local franchisee sending emails and letters to the school! The head said that often emails will go straight to junk and hardcopies (letters) may go straight in the bin if they look like advertising!

Please take two minutes to read this inspiring endorsement for one of Andrew Overhill’s schools in Somerset. They have been using the Golden Mile since September 2014 and the IMPACT of the Base Line Measurements (BLMs) has been unprecedented -

“At St Marys and St Peter's we have only 40 children and have managed to amass over 750 Golden Miles as a school since September 2014. The children have fully embraced the Golden Mile and have thoroughly enjoyed it. We have been out EVERY morning taking the boys and girls for 15 minutes, first thing in the morning (9.00am-9.15am) and have seen great results. We have noticed a big difference in behaviour during class time and readiness to learn, especially as you will be surprised to hear in the boys.

PPA Director Frankie has been finalising a number of new products due for release within the next few weeks, one of them being a specialised programme for children that are academically underachieving in schools. We’ll tell you more about these in the coming weeks.
