A Royal Dream Come True

Susan is affectionately known as ‘Princess Susan’ by her friends and support team, for her love of the monarchy and all things regal. So it was particularly exciting when, in 2022, Susan found out she’d be meeting HRH The Princess

During the Rugby League World Cup Quarter Finals, as England took on Papua New Guinea, the Princess met three of our RLWC Inclusive Volunteers. Thanking them, and our colleagues, for their inspiring contribution to the tournament and all that they have done for their communities, this special recognition was a dream come true for Susan.

Having contributed to our ‘Knit a Baby Bonnet’ project, knitting woolen bonnets for premature babies, Susan discussed her passion for knitting and pride in helping families in need with the Princess of Wales, and even shared a few tips!

Tennis England, British Gymnastics and UEFA Women’s EUROS.

And what makes us even more passionate about this work is the opportunities it provides for people we support. X people we support helped out at sporting events as Inclusive Volunteers, developing new skills and conquering ambtions in the process.
