Lucy Walkup is a Disability Sport Fife ambassador and role model. Lucy graduated from Stirling University last year and hopes one day to be a teacher. While at university Lucy took full advantage of her swim teaching qualifications and worked with the learn to swim team in Stirling.
Lucy has recently signed up to teach at Carnegie Swimming Club. At the height of her career as one of Scotland’s leading performance swimmers, Lucy represented Great Britain at the Deaflympicsgb. Lucy recently accepted an invitation from GOGA in Fife to become a peer mentor volunteer and the GOGA in Fife volunteer team welcomed her with open arms.
Lucy is a highly respected and well known sportswoman in Fife. Lucy’s first of many deployments was contributing to an inclusive active recreation weekly multi activity session for adults with severe and complex needs at the Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre. Lucy is being mentored by the session lead coach but it is clear from day one that she will be a significant asset to the GOGA in Fife movement.
The weekly session Lucy is supporting has benefitted from GOGA investment in Fife.
