Alisha | Community Champion at Newcastle United Foundation's Celebration Dinner
Alisha had a tough start in life – losing both parents in childhood, she often felt alone, struggling with school and fitting in with her peers. Alisha joined Newcastle United Foundation's Premier League Kicks programme, finally finding a place where she belonged through her love for football. After a difficult period where she fell in with a negative crowd, the Foundation referred Alisha to the YOLO Early Intervention programme, helping her re-engage with school and to establish a routine. Working with the Youth Mental Health team, Alisha gained the coping skills she needed to manage her emotions and to improve her confidence. She has recently taken her GCSEs and now attends college. Her family could not be prouder of her transformation and Alisha has even rekindled her love for football. With the Foundation’s support and her own determination, Alisha’s future looks brighter than ever. ……………………………………………….
