Merton Connected

The Championships are over for another year in the Borough of Sport! This year was a special one for us, 36 of our young mentees found employment at this year's Championships through Motivate Merton; a collaborative effort of 10 Organisations delivering mentoring opportunities. The All-England Lawn Tennis Club was honoured to nominate five "Work at Wimbledon" colleagues to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales as part of the Royal Line Up on Sunday. We're thrilled to share these photos of Emmanuella and Kimany, who are part of Motivate Merton. A special shoutout to Wimbledon Foundation and everyone at Motivate Merton for their unwavering support; we are so proud of this partnership and the young people we empower. Did you catch the coin flip for the Women's Final? It was done by another Motivate Merton mentee from Ashdon Jazz Academy, one of our partner organisations. https://lnkd.in/eE_kDZs9 #MotivateMerton #Wimbledon2024 #YouthEmpowerment #Mentoring #MertonConnected

Wimbledon Guild Green Social Prescribing Project walking Tennis has been a great success so far and this was evident to see when I had the opportunity to join them.
