A huge congratulations to our Inclusion Officer, Harry, who has been recognised with the Partner of the Year Award at the Aspire Star Awards.
The award celebrates the incredible impact Harry has had through his work delivering inclusive rugby sessions across Aspire centres, creating opportunities for people of all abilities to get active, build confidence and develop new friendships.
Speaking about the award, Harry said: “I’m incredibly honoured to receive this award and proud to know that the sessions we deliver are having an impact.
“I absolutely love working with Aspire and seeing people learn new skills through rugby and physical activity.”
Zoe Bawn, Chief Executive at Aspire CBS added: “We were thrilled to award Harry with Partner of the Year at the Aspire Star Awards.
“Harry’s inclusive rugby sessions leave a real lasting impact on the people we support at Aspire. He works so hard each time he visits, to create opportunities for all, adapting sessions to ensure people of all abilities can take part and building trusting relationships with every attendee. Week on week we see people build physical skills, friendships and confidence.
“When Harry arrives in our community bases, each room bustles with excitement and energy, saying more than we ever could about how much his work matters.
“Our partnership with Leeds Rhinos Foundation is incredibly important and Harry is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when organisations work together to make sports and activities more inclusive.”
