Rosie, 22, Marketing Volunteer

Who are you and what do you do?

Hello, I’m Rosie and I am a marketing volunteer at the trust.

How did you get involved in Aspire Sports Trust?

I found out about the Healthy Holidays programme through Home-Start and applied to volunteer. Whilst volunteering I spoke to Judith about my interest in marketing and she offered me the opportunity to get involved in the marketing of the trust.

What’s the most exciting project you’ve worked on?

I think the most exciting project I’ve worked on is Healthy Holidays. Volunteering enabled me to see and experience first-hand the impact of the programme. I enjoyed chatting to the children and parents, hearing how much the programme meant to them. It was brilliant to see the joy it brought to the children. Writing the report was a fantastic opportunity to be involved in the review and development of the programme alongside developing my own skills in collecting and presenting data. The work of Healthy Holidays is of great value and I have really enjoyed being a part of the project.

What is one thing you see in the future of Aspire Sports Trust?

I hope the newsletter is monthly so that people can be kept up to date and get involved in the worthwhile work of the Trust.

What have you gained from being involved?

I want to say thank you to the Trust as I have gained a great deal of marketing experience and my voluntary work has led to me becoming the Marketing Assistant at Aspire Sports.
