Foundation Celebrate Female Staff
In the week the world acknowledged the vital contributions women make to society, we are highlighted two shining lights right here on our own doorstep.
Kasha Petit and Martyna Balawender have been driving forces behind much of the wonderful work the AFC Wimbledon Foundation is doing in the community to help change people’s lives.
Foundation coach Martyna has also benefitted from Kasha’s mentoring. The pair first met at a satellite Premier League session where Kasha was coaching, Kasha immediately recognised her talent and invited her to become a volunteer coach for the Foundation as she worked through her coaching qualifications. Now Martyna works at all our girls-only sessions as well as our holiday courses.
“Martyna has excelled in confidence and is now a qualified Level 1 coach,” added Kasha. “We are delighted she’s part of the Foundation staff team and will be delivering our free holiday provision for vulnerable children over Easter. We can’t wait to see what that future holds for her - and the next generation she inspires!”
