Meet your inclusive activity instructor

Glenn Delikan, has been actively involved in mental and physical wellbeing for over 30 years.

As a young volunteer, Glenn worked with under-privileged children to support taking them on days out.

​

In addition, for 5 years he was a volunteer tasked with visiting patients at Leavesden Mental Asylum in Hertfordshire. Glenn would visit and talk with patients, listening to them and helping out with their hobbies or playing board games with them. Patients included adults with multiple complex physical and mental health issues.

Working with a number of strategic partners and clients helps with sustaining this work.  Additionally, he is also the AMA's Inclusive fitness officer the UK's largest independent martial arts governing body.
