It’s My Business Info

Welcome to my new blog. I’m Stephen and I’ve been a professional snooker player for 11 years. Snooker definitely runs in the family, I was taught by my dad, who was the paraplegic world champion in 88.

I’ve always enjoyed coaching and have being doing it almost as long as I’ve been playing snooker. For 6 years I’ve been running a snooker club, Trickshots, but in August a new opportunity came along when a company called Support Care Ltd called and asked me to teach 32 of their clients how to play snooker! This was the start of the Stephen Harrison Snooker Academy (SHA), a social enterprise aimed at providing mentoring programmes for all people from all kinds of backgrounds. Our aim is to enable individuals with emotional and well being issues to develop confidence.

We’re really busy at this time of year and it’s hard trying to find enough time in the day to get through everything! We’ve got clients coming from Monday to Friday, between 12- 3pm and after school 4 - 6pm even though we haven’t really done any marketing yet! We’re just organising a brochure now to help us secure Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with different companies – it’s good for them to have a brochure to refer to so they can see what we’re doing and it’s also a useful publicity aid for us. Hopefully if we can get them into circulation we’ll get some volunteers interested in helping out at the Academy too.
