During this time I also volunteered for Liberty jamboree and gained my level 1 in disability football qualification.
I started Saturday soccer schools back in 2015, which progressed onto our amazing holiday camps that are still loved to this day.
Now as head of operations, I continue to strive to provide the best camps in our community. I work hard to bring fun filled new activities and experiences to our camps.
