ReachOut! Academy Volunteer of the Week - Arrigo Beino

Arrigo Beino

Arrigo Beino is the most positive, resilient and affable person I’ve ever met. Arrigo has been working with the Year 8 group for the past eighteen months. As some of you know this is a challenging group. Arrigo coached this group the whole of last year, which involved taking football sessions with them on a Monday and giving up his Sundays as he took them to matches on Wanstead Flats.

This year Arrigo manages the Under 14s B team, coaching them on a Tuesday and taking them to matches on Saturday at Hackney Marshes. He also attends Under 14s A matches when Pete needs the extra support.

Arrigo does not let things phase him. After an incident with two pupils on Tuesday he got the rest of the group settled and carried on with the session. He’s always smiling and has more staying power than Occupy London.


Mille grazie Arrigo!
