Recognising the need for a recovery service to give brain injury survivors the best chance of a better future, Paul set up his charity, P.A.U.L for Brain Recovery in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPaul\u2019s story stuck a chord when we initially met,\u201d adds Tutor Doctor\u2019s Ian Frankish. \u201cHis \u2018One Punch Ruins Lives\u2019 story is such a vital campaign with the power to educate so many on the dangers of these types of violent assaults and the impact of serious brain injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The campaign sees Paul delivering his talks in secondary schools with the aim of sharing his experience and making a difference by educating students about the dangers of these assaults and discussing the mental health impacts that they can have. He gives students tools, advice and top tips to hopefully never end up on either side of a similar experience to his own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese talks aren\u2019t just for boys \u2013 they\u2019re for everyone. One talk we did recently, we even had the local MP in attendance,\u201d says Paul. \u201cTalks last around 30 minutes and then there\u2019s time for any Q&amp;As at the end so that students can ask about things that may have resonated with them in more detail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI encourage the students to remember that actions do have consequences. Asking them \u2018<strong>Do I want to be responsible for causing injury or even death?\u2019 \u2013 obviously the answer is no! I want to show them the best course is to walk away, save your life and prevent others\u2019 being ruined.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Launching his Tutor Doctor business in 2021, Ian Frankish has always been driven to give back to his local community. \u201cTutor Doctor has allowed me to follow up on my passion for our local area, whilst being able to support students in realising their full potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProviding students with this crucial information is really important to us both. We want to ensure every student in our area is given the opportunity to attend one of Paul\u2019s talks, and we\u2019re well on the way to doing so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tutor Doctor has become a cornerstone of the local community. Leveraging Ian\u2019s vast experience and knowledge of the education industry, collaborating with campaigns such as Paul\u2019s only enhances the quality of local educational services.<\/p>\n<p>Tutor Doctor covers Hull and the surrounding areas, extending their services into North Lincolnshire.<\/p>\n<p><em>Discover more about the Tutor Doctor franchise today, just click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.franchiselocal.co.uk\/tutor-doctor\/\"><strong><em><u>HERE<\/u><\/em><\/strong> <\/a><em>\u00a0to read our full profile on this site before submitting the form.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ian Frankish, owner of local tutoring business Tutor Doctor, and Paul Spence, founder of P.A.U.L for Brain Recovery, are on a mission to raise awareness of the impact of \u2018one punch\u2019 assaults to secondary school students in the area.
