Founders Story
Paul Ferry, Chair
When I was younger growing up in Heywood I was lacking direction. No roadmap or career guidance that helped to link my passion and interests with jobs and career options.
It was through pursuing sport and activity that I found my solution. It wasn’t about the weights; it was about the discipline, the consistency and the sense of belonging. Also, a couple of adult coaches took the time to find out what made me tick and then gave me the confidence to move forward. I was a late starter, but from my mid 20s onwards, I have never looked back.
That experience, my experience, is why I founded Well Foundation. How many young people in our community just need that bit of extra time and support, whilst getting healthier and building confidence? So, let’s unlock the potential of our young people and build for the future!
