The John Hulley Challenge

Fun 4 Kidz is a registered charity that provides out of school provision across Liverpool. We were really fortunate to receive a kind donation of John Hulley comics from Liverpool Heartbeat and so we set the children in our clubs a John Hulley challenge! 

Fun 4 Kidz is a registered charity that provides out of school provision across Liverpool. We were really fortunate to receive a kind donation of John Hulley comics from Liverpool Heartbeat and so we set the children in our clubs a John Hulley challenge!


The children were set the task of creating something that would continue to share the message of how important it is to look after your mind and body and how John Hulley was a pioneer of his time in creating the modern day olympics.



The response was amazing and there were many creations of posters, poems, activity books and even papier mache models.



After Rob and Bren saw the creative talents of our children we were honoured to be asked to make the flag that would unveil the John Hulley statue. Over 600 children were involved in the John Hulley project and all of our 10 settings were involved in each proudly creating part of this amazing flag.



Through learning about the life of John Hulley we have been able to ensure that his legacy lives on! Thank you Liverpool Heartbeat.
