Disability confident :)

As a disabled resident of Lewisham, I have felt exceedingly welcome and included by the entire leisure centre. I felt these efforts of inclusion in all activities I have participated in and spearheading all this is the warm and compassionate Yannic Clarke. As a leisure centre manager and as a training partner in the gym, Yannic has made me feel welcome, comfortable and productively challenged & motivated in my fitness journey. This leisure centre feels safe from the toxicities surrounding health and fitness industries and its focus on community empowerment is second to none.
