Sam’s passion for sport and physical activity has led her into a career which has involved her working at multiple leisure centres, an elite sports club, a Local Authority, an Active Partnership and being involved in University sport.

Sam loves helping people see and feel the benefits of being active, and believes that there is an activity for everyone! During lockdown, Sam found a new passion of doing dance workouts to Disney music, which is her new favourite thing.

Over the last few years, Sam has dipped her toe into the world of funding, writing bids for small organisations, and supporting big organisations secure large grants to deliver community projects – and she finds them all exciting to be a part of.
