Briony Clark has become the 15th Disability Sport Fife volunteer to be acknowledged by UK agency Volunteering Matters for her significant contribution to the development of disability sport in Fife. Briony was one of DSF’s original peer mentor volunteers.
Briony has been involved with GOGA in Fife since it was launched 18 months ago and since she left school she has spent large amounts of her free time supporting others at the Michael Woods Sports & Leisure Centre.
Briony is one of the most talented all round sportwomen in Fife. Briony excelled as a footballer at school and is now an active member of Glenrothes Strollers. She is also very competent in racquet sports, athletics, bowls and is an exceptional swimmer. Some of her sporting activities have been curtailed because of work commitments but not her enthusiasm for volunteering.
Briony volunteers weekly at multi sports, run jump and throws and many sports events throughout the year. Briony is patient, confident and skilled with participants with severe and complex needs in particular. Briony has the ability to pursue a coaching pathway but for the moment is happy to be a peer mentor volunteer and a particularly good one at that. Briony is enthusiastic, reliable and exceptionally popular within her peer group.
