This week is Trustee Week, a chance to celebrate the amazing contributions made by trustees to their charities and recognise the difference they make. We particularly want to thank our incredible trustees who work tirelessly behind the scenes to support our work and our people. They generously give their time, expertise, and guidance as we continue to grow as a charity. We also want to thank the trustees of the charities we collaborate with, as well as those of the grant-giving charities whose funding allows our vital work to continue.

Yesterday we were excited to welcome 20 current and former athletes from 14 different sports to our Sport Industry Experience Day in partnership with Wasserman. This is the third time we have run a day like this and we continue to be blown away by the amazing feedback from those who attended. Attendees had a chance to: ✅ Learn about different careers in the sports industry ✅ Network with the team at Wasserman - speed networking is intense but great fun ✅ Engage in masterclasses regarding cv and interview preparation and personal branding. ✅ Learn from the transition experiences of those at different stages of their planning for life outside of sport - a massive thank you Matthew Vandrau Lauren McMurchie and Tobi Sho-Silva for sharing your experiences 🙏 ✅ And… to test their drawing skills (a lovely way to break the ice Matthew Lock ) Thank you for all the team at Wasserman for the amazing welcome and sharing your insights, particularly Karima Green (She / Her) Jordanne Napier and Nino Pettinato for your ongoing support of our work. The feedback from everyone in the room has been humbling to hear. Two quotes which illustrates this… ‘Before today, when I was thinking about finishing my sporting journey, I was scared. Now I can’t wait. I’m feeling very encouraged. I really appreciate this day, how it makes me very empowered’ ‘An unbelievable day spent with Wasserman x StPF. I'm currently starting the journey transitioning out of elite sport and this day offered an invaluable insight into the sports industry and different roles that exist. Staff at Wasserman and StPFare so friendly and want to help.’ This is why we do what we do. Onto our next experience day next week at the National Sales Conference… https://lnkd.in/eyvbqgCF Please reach out if you would like to attend … and don’t forget applications are live for our exciting new 12 month transition programme, Evolve to Thrive delivered in partnership with Dame Kelly Holmes Trust https://lnkd.in/erdJsyRc #careerpathways #networking #connections #sportindustry #curiosity #careertransition
