A polio survivor, Ian is swimming the 30 metre pool to raise money for the End Polio Now charity, which aims to eradicate polio worldwide. www.endpolio.org
Ian said: “In 1876, Frederic Rayner was so concerned about problems associated with chronic alcoholism, that he sent a gift of five shillings to a charity. The charity was the precursor to the probation service, a service I have loved and served for over 30 years.
“Whilst celebrating probation’s existence during uncertain and ever changing times, I also want to make a tangible contribution to ‘Stop Polio Now’, a charity supported by both Rotary International and the Bill Gates Foundation for the Eradication of Polio Worldwide.”
Ian’s target is £1000 and donations can be made securely online at:

Ian has recently asked a number of MPs about the Transforming Rehabilitation reforms and has asked the Government to support his endeavours, to ensure that no children have to suffer from this curable disease.
