I'm Rounak, the Academy community pioneer for Co-op Academy Leeds.

My name is Rounak. I am the Academy community pioneer for Co-op Academy Leeds. I have been involved with Co-op Academy Leeds for the past two years in another role, where I help to provide maths intervention classes. 

This new role allows me to work more closely with members of the wider community through the school and see where we can have a greater beneficial impact. It is rewarding to be able to utilise my skill set as well as collaborate with members of the community and staff to be able to help wherever possible. 

In my short time in this role, I have supported the school in being able to provide over 200 Christmas gifts to children and I am involved in their community fridge, as the school hosts CAL in the community every Friday morning.

We are currently working on clearing a garden space in order to run an eco club and I am in the process of applying for grants to fund furniture for it. We are also planning on hosting Iftar at the school open to all faiths to come and enjoy the event. 

I'm very excited to be involved in all these wonderful opportunities, and I’m looking forward to what the future brings and how we can be involved to help. 

Yours co-operatively,

Rounak
