🌟 From building confidence to building a future in sport! ⚽🏏🏎️
When Kirsty first came to Enrych, she had a clear passion for sport but lacked the confidence to take the next step towards a career in the industry.
After completing a sports qualification at Loughborough College, Kirsty knew she wanted to work in sport but wasn't sure where to start. Through Enrych's Employability Programme, she attended workshops, completed a work placement at Coalville and Whitwick Leisure Centre, and gained valuable support to help her move forward.
Since then, Kirsty has gone from strength to strength. She now volunteers with Heather St John's Football Club on matchdays and supports Enrych's boccia and multi-sport sessions. Most importantly, she's developed the confidence to engage with others and embrace new opportunities.
💬 "I feel more confident and will now start conversations with others."
Simon, Chairman of Heather St John's Football Club, said:
"Kirsty is an absolute asset to our club. She works hard, is committed and is wonderful to talk to. I know Kirsty's goal is to get a paid job within sport, and with her dedication and work ethic, I'm confident she will achieve it."
We're incredibly proud of everything Kirsty has achieved and can't wait to see where her journey takes her next. 💙
