Lead Mentor – Scottish Disability Sport Young Start Programme
As the Lead Mentor for the Scottish Disability Sport Young Start programme, Victoria has the privilege of supporting a dynamic group of young individuals across Scotland, from Shetland to Stranraer, along with their dedicated mentors. It is incredibly rewarding to witness these young people achieve their ambitions.
