β¨ Staff Spotlight: Ruby McDonald β¨
Ruby is now in her third season as part of the team here at Elie Holiday Park, and we are incredibly proud to have her as part of our team. π
Ruby has FASD, which can present additional learning challenges, but she has never allowed this to stand in the way of achieving her goals. With the unwavering support of her foster mum Fiona, she continues to inspire everyone around her with her determination, positivity and passion.
As an equal opportunities employer, Abbeyford Leisure is proud to support people from all backgrounds and abilities into employment, helping them build confidence, gain experience and achieve their potential.
Earlier this year, she was selected as a finalist for the Youth Sports Advocate of the Year Award and travelled to Birmingham for the ceremony. Competing against finalists from across Britain, Ruby was named the overall winner, an incredible achievement that we were all delighted to celebrate. π
Her success doesn't stop there. Ruby has since been nominated for a Game Changer Award and next week will attend the opening of the Scottish Parliament as a guest of the Mid Scotland and Fife MSP and recognised as their local hero. During the visit, she will also attend a reception with The King and Queen. π
Ruby's journey is a fantastic example of what can be achieved through hard work, determination and the right support. We are incredibly proud of everything she has accomplished and wish her the very best of luck with her latest award nomination. β
