I once helped kids to learn to read, that was really great, gave me a a real sense of achievement. Also visited an old lady who lived on her own - used to call round once a week and have tea, do odd jobs, take her out, that sort of thing. Sounds pretty dull, but I got a lot out of it, especially as she seemed to really enjoy the company. I just hope when I'm old and alone that epople will visit me!

Used to do it every friday night from 5-7, it was quite good fun but then the parents complained to the club, who had asked me to do it, bcos I was a bad role model for the kids. A lot of the kids I was coachin had friends around my age, n cos of past problems , the parents didn't think I was 'suibtable' to coach tennis to there kids. Resulting from that I was asked not to go to the junior sessions n e more, although some of the parents did actually hire me to give private coaching on a different night.
