Darren Grigas

In the last few years I’ve raced and trained over thousands of miles from family park runs to beastly 40 mile obstacle races and the notorious Marathon des Sables.

As a guest speaker Darren is a true inspiration to all. His approach to challenge, personal development and lifelong learning made him the perfect guest speaker to inspire and motivate our team. His adventures are the perfect hook to get the young people engage and his subtle but targeted “suggestions” on personal development stayed with the team throughout the twelve week programme.

Darren has been involved with Nene Inspired from the initial conception to getting the charity up and running. His drive and determination to support young people in engaging with positive and adventurous activates has been extremely motivating for all involved in the Project. As a valued trustee; Darren takes a keen interest in the development and evolution of our organization.

Motivation and inspiration are key elements in encouraging young people to strive beyond their limiting beliefs. As a guest speaker on our National Citizen Service courses; the group listened attentively as he talked them through his various exploits as an extreme adventurer and charity fundraiser. His stories of completing the Marathon Des Sables and spending a week challenging alongside Sir Ranulph Fiennes as he became the oldest UK citizen to complete the challenge held his audience spellbound. A true motivational speaker.
