We are delighted that Charlotte is part of our BRIT Ambassador family and championing the annual BRIT Challenge to support and improve young adult and student mental health and fitness throughout the UK.
Charlotte has represented Great Britain in Wheelchair Basketball at almost every major since 2013 (the age of 14).
“As a former student at Sheffield Hallam University, and having played with wheelchair basketball with young athletes for over 8 years, I know many students and young adults are struggling with mental health right now; particularly those students with existing mental health challenges, who are vulnerable and living with disabilities. It’s vital that young adults and students are provided with help and encouragement to improve their mental health and fitness to avoid long-term consequences.
I love vision of BRIT and their delivery of the annual BRIT Challenge as a feelgood February fundraiser for every university, college, specialist college and Students’ Union to take part in. It’s great to see that the BRIT Challenge has designed to be inclusive and enables young adults, students and staff of all abilities to participate in many different ways including; hand-cycling, cycling, wheelchair pushing, swimming, walking, jogging, running, rowing or paddling (canoeing, kayaking or paddle-boarding).
I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of the BRIT Ambassador family and uniting with fellow Paralympians, and Olympians, sports personalities, adventurers and explorers, to promote the BRIT Challenge, destigmatise mental health and champion equality, diversity and inclusion. I urge my fellow Great Britain Paralympians to join our BRIT Ambassador family so, together, we can support young adults and students at every university, college and specialist college in the UK
I look forward to encouraging students and staff at Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Warwick to take on the BRIT Challenge."
