RACE trainees have been getting plenty of help with practical life skills from a newly-structured personal development programme delivered via a series of evening sessions since January.

Guidance counsellor Helen O'Sullivan has organised a series of invited speakers to provide practical advice and support for the trainees in a broad range of areas – money advice & budgeting, positive mental health, driving safety awareness, sports injuries & rehabilitation, sports psychology & developing a winning mentality, the job of the valet and weigh room procedure, goal-setting, cyber bullying and safety on the internet.
