A Crowborough coaching company which inspires children to be active through sport has been named Children’s Sports Club of the Year for London and the south east.
The husband and wife team, Dan and Erin Papper who set up and run Jumping Juniors said they were “absolutely delighted” to scoop the award, especially as it has been a tough year.
The firm has been running for four years and runs various holiday and weekend sports and activity clubs for children, as well as schools PE. It describes itself as “passionate about helping children thrive through sports and activities”.
Dan said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive this award. As a small, family-run business led by husband and wife, we never imagined we would achieve such recognition. We are incredibly proud and deeply grateful to our dedicated staff and loyal customers.”
He explained the year had been especially difficult for the couple. “Erin’s mother sadly passed away in March at the age of 59, and my grandmother passed away in May. Despite these personal losses, the business has been a source of strength, bringing us joy through the smiles of the many children who take part in our activities.”
“We cannot thank our amazing team enough for their support and for helping us through such a challenging time.”
