A HUGE congratulations to our very own Jade, who has just been named Volunteer of the Year in Blackpool! 💙💛
For someone of her age, this is absolutely incredible to say the least!
She is, without question, one of the hardest working people in our academy from Judo, Wrestling, Sports Camps, community, socials. She gives her time, her energy and her heart to this place, constantly going above and beyond without ever expecting anything in return.
This is special to us as its not just the work she puts in
It’s who she is.
Jade is the person who welcomes people through the door, makes the kids feel comfortable, lights up the room and makes everyone feel like they belong. Whether it’s a child taking their first steps into the academy or an adult who needs a friendly face, Jade has a way of making people feel at home.
She genuinely makes the academy what it is.
The hours, the effort, the little things nobody sees, the things she does simply because she cares, it all adds up.
And to see that recognised with an award of this magnitude is something we couldn’t be prouder of 💙💛
Jade, this is so incredibly deserved. ❤️
Thank you for everything you do for the academy, for our kids, for our adults and for everyone who walks through those doors.
Volunteer of the Year.
And to us, so much more than that. 🏆💙💛
