We look forward to working in many schools in the near future with many appointments made & some negotiation of dates ongoing to fit around existing school programmes. As ever, we are keen to work with any charity, funding provider & school/youth organisation/official body to further the campaign & prevent lives being ruined by bullying. Stay strong, talk, talk, talk."<br />

We've been quiet for the last few months, but that doesn't mean nothing is going on. Dave has been delivering a series of Anti Bullying presentations to the pupils of Newtown Primary School in Sandwell whilst also engaged in building the structure of the Big Dave Community Interest Company. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Funding is the most difficult obstacle to delivery - whilst there is demand & interest from schools to tackle the things that Dave can help with, the budgets have been cut & as mentioned previously many of the partnerships that existed between schools & police where the campaign was organised have simply disappeared.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
217 grant funding bodies have been investigated since November 2015. Of those 217, we appeared to fit the criteria of 35. 14 rejected us outright. 18 have not yet decided or replied either way. 3 have said yes, we will help. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're truly grateful to Harborne Parish Charity, Harborne Parish Lands & Zurich Community Trust Local Programme for backing us. We'll be making some noise along the way about what we're doing & where we've been. Onwards!</div>

Following the success of Big Dave's visit to Newtown Primary School (Sandwell) on 18th November last year, headteacher Karen Godwin has engaged the Angel of Strength to introduce the buddy scheme to year four over the coming term in a number of weekly sessions. Building on the successful model Dave has piloted elsewhere, pupils will be encouraged to become positive contributors during lessons that encompass health, wellbeing, citizenship, exercise, nutrition which are all components of the ongoing anti bullying campaign. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dave says: "Big Dave's Buddies is a scheme where young people in a school, community or youth club act as leaders/peer mentors, leading by example. The buddies have a special status & are expected to be pro-active in prevention of bullying & anti social behaviour. Both Karen Godwin & I believe the school should be the heart of a community where good things emanate outwards."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For more information on how the buddies scheme could be implemented in your school or organisation please get in touch:</div>

The picture above is a good metaphor of how it feels to pitch to the world. Whatever the benefits & opportunities offered, even the best ideas are often glanced over with a cursory frown. If presented over the phone or in an unimaginative setting on a grey January Monday morning when it's raining, we're really up against it. Luckily the enthusiasm Dave has to exert his muscles & help influence the young people of the world has not diminished since his anti bullying campaign began & the colourful effect he has on the young people can be seen in dozens of photos like this:</div>

"It's my crusade," he told me a long time ago. "I'm in constant unrelenting competition with myself." His passion to make a difference is something that has always impressed me, from the day when I first saw the picture of him pulling Concorde to this morning when he called me with the latest update. It's easy to see why he's achieved so much.</div>

Those who have followed Big Dave over the years will know that there have been a few websites & social media accounts. Dave doesn't spend a great deal of time on the internet, the gym being his favourite place to be between meals. Communication is vital though. If you're going to TALK TALK TALK, then some sort of electronic medium needs to be maintained. One of the challenges of the last few months has been to pull together some of the resources & pages. Passwords have been lost & some of the login email accounts had been deleted. Big Dave says: "Never Say Can't," so with some perseverance our previous domains - www.bigdavesworld.co.uk & the <a href="http://bigdavesworld.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a> account have been rescued, redirected & updated. There are a few twitter & youtube accounts floating about, but gradually they'll all be reigned back & pointed back to here. Have a look at a few of the videos found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD8kPcoqCMdUB41I-EeR3bg">here.</a><br />

In the meantime more archive material has emerged - pictures from the bus lift, Edinburgh military tattoo, airplane pulls, vehicle lifts & even more bus pulls. There have been a few surprises too. We often talk about pulling Concorde, the Boeing 747 & the B52 stratofortress, but Dave also pulled an RAF tornado, Vulcan bomber, Boeing 707 & an airbus that he'd forgotten all about until he clipping was found. With over a thousand vehicle pulls, the holding back of planes, motorbikes, cars, vans & horses, & the various lifts of vehicles completely off the ground there are a lot of stories to tell. We'll be putting these into some sort of order over the next few weeks so please check back again regularly.<br />

The anti bullying campaign has been going a good many years now. It's easy to reel off the numbers - over a million children engaged, over 1050 vehicles pulled. There have been some real successes too, with many positive stories coming back via evaluations, anecdotes & testimonials. Relaunching the campaign today to a new audience at Holly Hall Academy in Dudley was no less special than the first presentation. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Children have questions:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Could you lift that table?" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What was the hardest lift you ever did?" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What's the most you've ever bench pressed?" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Would you have been a strongman if you weren't bullied?" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"How much do you eat?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Which world record is your favourite?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Questions flow back & forth, scenarios are discussed & the conversation develops. The magic of youth, their enthusiasm & ambitions unfold. "Never Say Can't," is a message that can be carried forwards. "Talk, Talk, Talk," similarly reminds the importance of communication. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A report by Childline last week suggested that children are increasingly becoming lonely & unhappy. Sharing ambitions & talking about concerns is the start of teamwork, friendship & ultimately success. One child, one class, one school at a time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The work goes on.</div>

Angel of Strength Dave Gauder is a Multi World Record holder for feats of strength. He was bullied at school. With hard work, determination & self belief Dave went on to pull planes, trains, trucks, military hardware, lift enormous weights & restrain vehicles, boats, aircrafts & draught horses. Instead of competing for prizes or personal gain, he used his strength to start an ongoing campaign against bullying.<br />

Dave's anti bullying roadshow has successfully taken on some of the countries toughest schools in the most deprived areas. Children respect & listen to him. Schools community leaders, police & most importantly children rave about his anti - bullying campaign. There are hundreds of testimonials, some can be viewed <a href="http://bigdavegauder.blogspot.co.uk/p/testimonials.html">here. </a><br />

Companies have supported Dave's work as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy (CSR) allowing us to continue the good work & raise awareness of the trauma bullying can cause. Looking in our own back yard, <span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>The Portrait of the West Midlands Document,</i> (produced by the Office of
National Statistics by Angela Medlan*) suggests that 15% of households are
victimised at least once, so a presentation to a school of 500 pupils is
potentially addressing 75 victims. This is based upon reported crime for the household. Of course, a lot of bullying is never reported. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Big Dave Community Interest Company is a social enterprise that has successfully devised & developed programmes that support children & young people. Our work takes place wherever a need is identified. Dave has established Buddy Schemes in a cluster of Primary Schools which allow children to take personal responsibility (with support structures in place) to eradicate bullying amongst their piers. </span></div>

A few crates of paper in the garage contain hundreds of testimonials, newspaper clippings & a lot of nostalgia. It's been a habit to file these away - there is no need to read thank you's more than once when there is more work to be done. The crates in the garage, regularly added to for a number of years, have been kept for when there was time to sort them out, if the need ever arose: it has. </div>

The economic climate of the last few years has meant that many of the organisations & agencies that made funds available to police & education partnerships have been dissolved. Cutbacks have had to be found in all areas & with no easy way to measure prevention many good projects aimed at building futures for youngsters have gone. </div>

New avenues have to be explored. Grants for specific projects are still available but a bid has to be made. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Each panel have a number of questions to be answered usually starting with "Is there a need for this project?" The news headlines suggest that there is. Children in schools are affected the most by bullying. Technology has provided the bully with the means to continue their campaigns after hours & mass media doesn't appear to be full of positive messages. Adults in the work place fare little better. Those with the most resources & ability to stand up to bullying - celebrities & Members of Parliament - are complaining that they are being targeted. So yes, there is a need for this project.</div>

The need to combat bullying, antisocial behaviour, knife crime, drug culture & promote a healthy way of living has not diminished. Tackling the problem in schools & with young people is a solution for now & the future. Supporting evidence for projects is always asked for. So the crates have been turned out, looked at photographed & some of the photos thought lost have appeared. Odd press clippings provide reminders of special memories - unlikely stunts & lots of happy people met along the way. </div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There will be a lot of photos appearing in the gallery & a file of some of the testimonials that will grow as other crates & boxes are found & tackled. Hopefully some of the missing photos of the bus lift & train pulls will appear too. To the funding panels who don't know about the thousand or more bus pulls or the million children that have benefited from the positive message delivered the evidence is here. Please help keep the campaign going - for the future. </div>

Adam wants to lose 4 stone in 6 months. Could the Angel of Strength help? Certainly. A plan was formulated & work started swiftly - Nutrition was made a priority - junk food to be replaced by a healthy eating strategy. Regular strength, conditioning & fitness sessions programmed around the working week. </div>
<div>
Adam, a digital marketing strategist & music professional decided to share his journey with the world through social media. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
An engineer will tell anyone who will listen the benefits of preventative maintenance because fixing something that is broken costs more than spending a little regularly to keep everything running smoothly. Some accountants will tell you that such investment is too expensive & any breakages can be worried about in the next accounting period. Kick the can down the street far enough for someone else to worry about & the books might balance this year & bankruptcy may be averted. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can we measure prevention? How can we justify investing in the what if's when there are other priorities that demand immediate attention? These basic - but vital - decisions are the bread & butter of politics & a blame culture. Who is right? The engineer that tells us that it will cost more later or the accountant who says there is not enough money available to do everything we want to do? Those who inherit the machine will also pick up the bill for the repairs or replacement. They will likely argue that their approach to the problem would have left a perfectly functioning machine operated at half the cost & twice the efficiency. Elections are coming & promises will be made. The only guaranteed not to be cut is the length of the speeches made by those who claim to have the vision of how things could be with them in charge. </div>

Dave Gauder was bullied at school. It made his life a misery & affected his education. Millions of others had the same treatment & some never recovered from it. Dave decided that he would do something about it. Over the years he pursued strength through weight training. He never stopped. Such an improvement in physical power can be the makings of a bully - or a hero. He directed his energies towards <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxuU4frRuaA">improbable feats if strength</a>. Multiple strength records followed, bringing worldwide acclaim & recognition. </div>

For some this would have been the start of a competitive career. Instead, Dave used this fame to begin his own crusade against bullying & anti social behavior. With a stunt to gain the attention of the youngsters he then gave <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftdaAqXMt5E">a powerful presentation</a> which a former Home Secretary stated was the most effective positive message for youngsters he had encountered. The campaign won awards & was presented to over a million children. Dave lived out of a suitcase for a number of years & pulled over a thousand buses or big vehicles - a record in itself. Dave has led many initiatives & changed a lot of lives. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NarjxoRlZUk">SLAMH</a> continues his commitment to making a difference to people with less chances than most. </div>

How many people stopped bullying others? How many of the bullied found strength to tackle their situation in a way that Dave himself couldn't when he was at school? How many did he inspire to do positive things? There aren't the figures for prevention. I (Dan Earthquake) saw the article about him pulling Concorde when I was thirteen years old & it inspired me. It still does. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Times change, funding for police & extra curricular educational activities has been cut & looks set to be cut more. The accountants have said that money has to be prioritised to other concerns in the austere times that we find ourselves in. It has been left to the public & the fourth sector to fill in where it can. </div>

Dave Gauder has the ability to make a difference & the sort of reputation that young people love & respect. Those wishing to help the cause can do so <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/t6fgv8">here.</a><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">This new concept for </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Birmingham</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> and its young people will target all
aspects of the community, male and female, and has the potential to improve the
lives of many marginalised people. As I
have already demonstrated and proven with the award winning SLAMH Programme, out
of 800 projects SLAMH made it through to the final stage of the National Lottery
Awards and was in the last six. A great
achievement as SLAMH has only been going a very short time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What is SLAMH? Ever
wished you had a great role model? Ever
wished you had someone to aspire to be?
I know it is massively important for young people to see and be around
those who present themselves as positive role models, that is why I devised
SLAMH which has already changed several peoples lives for the good. Now my work has the opportunity to proceed to
another level and deliver many more programmes for young people, not just on
the physical side, but on the general
wellbeing to deliver programmes such as life skills, money management, time
banking, volunteering, plus access to educational programmes. I will be partnering with colleges etc on
these programmes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The time banking would work on a ‘learn to earn’ basis ie the
opportunity to develop a time bank against the hours worked and those hours set
aside for access to educational and physical training opportunities and so
increase the social capital of those who find themselves in a position to give
something back to the community. As part
of their pathway there may be a reward of recognition to the individuals
progress, ie a Princess Diane Award, which would have a positive impact on
their CV’s and also a positive impact on reducing re-offending rates as
individuals learn new skills and coping strategies that enable them to sustain
re-integration back into the community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The SLAMH programme represents an opportunity to create a
positive community based facility which seeks to provide a life altering
experience for young people as I have already achieved with SLAMH. It will be a positive addition to the
community, creating jobs or signposting onto further education. This is a unique and ambitious project and is
based on the vision and experience of Big Dave Gauder who has a proven track
record in producing positive outcomes for young people. At its heart is a desire to change young
peoples lives in a positive and sustainable way. This project does not fit traditional or
contemporary models working with hard to reach young people, as it is saying
that we need to bring the best of what we are and get the best from who young
people really are.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dave's Slam H (Start Low, AiM High) programme features five weekly sessions of physical training at a gym in Stafford. It has already been a hit in Stoke-on-Trent, as well as Kings Norton and Stourbridge in the West Midlands. <br />
Dave also includes tips on how to stay positive mentally, develop personal confidence and focus on healthy living.<br />
Big Dave says that the course participants are now looking at nutrition information on food packages. He is amazed that the people on probation have changed their lives in such a short space of time.<br />
The course started on the 11th June. It is funded by Stafford County Council Adult & Community Learning Services, through a partnership between Support Staffordshire Voluntary Services and SWMPT. Staffordshire's Education, Training and Employment Officer, Chris Stevens has been instrumental in liaising and setting up the course with Sandra Grosvenor, Learning & Development Officer for Stafford and District Volunteer Services.<br />
The course took over a year to organise, so we were all really pleased when it started. <br /> A Presentation, was given by Big Dave, on the 20th March at Cannock and Stafford, Voluntary Services and Probation Offices and the course began on the 11th June. <br />
It was run, as an accredited programme, with a qualification in Improving Fitness, Open College Network , at entry Level 3. It is hoped that, a further progression course, will follow on from this. It is also hoped that those on this course will notice how their health and fitness has improved and give them an incentive to move on to higher levels of training. <br />
The teaching of the course was supported by Tarnia Hewston, from Stafford Integrated Offender Management, who along with, Pete Reynolds from Stafford Police and Darren Parton, from One Recovery, increased the skills of the group every week. Sandra Grosvenor, accredited the OCN, programme, from the Stafford District Voluntary Services and also facilitated the costs of the course. <br />
Dave's motivational approach to fitness , encouraged the participant's, who said they all enjoyed the sessions. Because it was held every Wednesday for Five weeks, the other five sessions, which were required to make up the required learning hours, they were given, gym passes, which they could use, at a time, to fit in with their, other commitments. <br />
<br />Paula, aged 28, is on probation in Stafford. She used to hate coming to the gym but now she goes twice a week and thinks it is great: "I'm more motivated and I've changed my diet," she says. <br />
Paula was a bit scared at first and apprehension was felt at the start but she has gradually got better. "I feel better about myself and have made friends". Before the course, Paula would stay in bed until 10am with no breakfast in her diet, but now she is eating properly and she says that the course has helped with her diet and made it much healthier.<br />
Pete, aged 38 from Stafford, is also on probation. He says that he has gained a focus through Slam H and has been swimming a mile a week since starting the course. <br />
After being on heroin for around 22 years, Pete is glad that he can finally turn his life around and he has been clean from illegal substances for over three and a half years. <br />
Pete feels that his energy levels are rising due to the course and his diet has changed to become protein-rich, and a lot healthier. "Dave is very informative and encouraging," he says. He also feels that the course is inspirational.<br />
A police officer from the IOM unit attends too, which has helped to break down barriers with the service users.<br />
We hope this course will be repeated again very soon. If funding can be obtained in the future the course will be run, as a roll on, roll off, programme. Dave's attendance at each session, would also be a huge bonus, as he definitely inspired the group, emphasising the importance of positive thinking. <br />
Dave has twenty five uncontested World Records, it also shows everyone that , anything and everything, is achievable.<br />
