I am running for Sports Secretary because I am passionate about sport, proud to be part of Telford Hall and keen to make IMS an even better experience for everyone. As someone who regularly attends one-day events and plays for the Telford rugby team, I understand how important sport is in bringing the hall together, building friendships and creating a sense of community. I want to use this experience to help make Telford an even better sporting hall. If elected, I will aim to increase participation by encouraging more people to get involved in IMS, regardless of their sporting ability or experience. Improve inclusivity, ensuring everyone feels welcome to participate, whether they're competitive or just looking to have fun. Build hall spirit and listen to residents by listening to feedback and ideas to make sporting opportunities as enjoyable and accessible as possible. I will bring enthusiasm, commitment and a genuine passion for Telford to the role. I want to help make sport something everyone can enjoy and be proud to represent Telford in!

James van Laar
I have always enjoyed volunteering and Community action.
Serving as Head Boy in secondary school gave me hands-on experience running initiatives like charity bake sales, Christmas toy drives and litter-picks, showing me how meaningful it is when a community comes together for a cause.
If elected, I want to preserve the great work our hall already does while expanding our outreach into the community. For example, I was a part of a project in school where we would have regular drop-ins to chat, play games or have a cup of tea with care home residents. Seeing how much these conversations meant to both the students and residents was remarkable and I would love to bring something similar to Telford Hall.
