Stephen Halkett: Sporting Memories Ambassador

Stephen – science teacher, stand-up comedian and runner – has been a long-time supporter of Sporting Memories, notably through raising funds and awareness through running.

In his capacity as a teacher at the Vale of Leven Academy, Stephen leads on Sporting Memories' first ever project to involve young people directly in planning and running Sporting Memories Clubs.

Stephen says: "I am delighted to accept the role of Sporting Memories Foundation Scotland Ambassador. It will be a privilege to support the wonderful work of the charity."
