Police Commissioner presents Merseyside Police with merit award for response to Coronavirus Pandemic

MERSEYSIDE'S outgoing Police Commissioner has presented Merseyside Police with a merit award to recognise the Force's response to the global Coronavirus Pandemic. Jane Kennedy, whose term of office officially ends on Wednesday 12 May 2021 presented the award to the Chief Constable Serena Kennedy, who received it on behalf of the entire Force. The award recognises the:- "fortitude, professionalism and determination" of the Officers and staff of Merseyside Police to meet the challenges of the Pandemic head on, without regard for the potential risk to their own health and wellbeing.

Jane said:- "As 1 of my final acts as Police Commissioner, I am extremely proud to present the officers and staff, through the Chief Constable of Merseyside Police, this merit award for their conduct, professionalism and resilience during the global Coronavirus Pandemic. During the unprecedented challenges of 2020/21, the public looked to the police to keep their services running and to maintain order. This year more than ever before, the men and women of Merseyside Police have been asked to go above and beyond the normal call of duty in many aspects of their work to protect the public, enforcing regulations which have restricted people's freedoms and liberties in an unprecedented way. Merseyside Police's officers and staff took immediate and decisive action to put the communities of Merseyside 1st by keeping people safe, continuing to tackle crime and to find solutions to problems brought about by the Pandemic. The whole Force showed compassion, resilience and professionalism during a time of exceptional uncertainty and fear. Meeting those challenges head on, with fortitude, professionalism and determination, despite the potential risk to their own health and wellbeing.The Force's admirable response and the willingness of officers and staff to go the extra mile to protect, care and support local people provided me and the public with great reassurance. Such conduct, demonstrated at every level and in all departments, is recognised and appreciated by the public of Merseyside and I, in turn, am honoured to present this award on their behalf to Merseyside Police for meritorious conduct."

Merseyside Police's Chief Constable Serena Kennedy said:- "I am delighted to receive this Merit Award on behalf of the Force to recognise the hard work and commitment that the whole force including our volunteers and Specials, all of whom have worked incredibly hard and demonstrated our absolute commitment to putting our communities 1st."
 


David Lloyd Leisure searches for 100s of new fitness team members and urges people of all ages to apply

THE UK's leading health and fitness group David Lloyd Leisure is looking to recruit hundreds of fitness trainers to help and support its members as they get their lives back on track after the Pandemic.

As the Centre for Ageing Better reports that around 400,000 of over 50s face redundancy when the furlough scheme ends, David Lloyd Leisure is keen to hear from people of all ages who maybe looking for a new change in direction, who can bring invaluable life experience, empathy and communication skills to the fitness group's 99 Clubs in the UK.

In 2019, David Lloyd Leisure became the 1st company of its kind to commit to having a Fitness Trainer aged 55 or over in every one of its clubs on average. The pledge, to be completed by the end of 2022, was made to encourage a more age diverse environment in its gyms so that everyone feels at ease whatever their age or fitness level. It was also made a part of a wider commitment to offer older people tailored expertise and support to meet their individual needs.

This commitment followed the recommendations of Public Health England and UK Active, who revealed that the older age groups feel more self conscious when exercising in public and workout less often than other age groups.

Alongside the commitment, David Lloyd Leisure is introducing a training programme that will empower all of its fitness teams to deliver industry leading support to its older members, including how to develop confidence and motivation, fitness and nutrition and advice, and how to create individual training programmes to suit specific needs.

Lucy Day, head of gym at David Lloyd Leisure, said of the commitment:- "At David Lloyd Leisure we look for great communication skills, passion and empathy to work with our members; all valuable traits that often come with life experience. The Pandemic has prompted more of us than ever to re-evaluate our purpose in life and we know that many people are thinking about changing careers at this time. If you have a passion for fitness and a desire to make a positive difference to people's lives, then becoming a fitness trainer could be for you. Age is most certainly not a barrier, and we're looking to hear from people from all life stages and backgrounds."

Lucy continued:- "At David Lloyd Leisure we strive to provide market leading facilities and a warm community where everyone of all ages feel welcome and inspired. Our older members have told us that having greater age diversity in our clubs helps them overcome their self-consciousness and more readily embrace exercise."

Applicants do not need to have fitness training experience, but they will need to have achieved the entry Level 2 in Fitness qualification. Advice and tips about how to study for this are available at:- DavidLloyd.Co.UK.
