Scottish Disability Sport is delighted to welcome back Louise Gillespie to the role of part-time regional manager for North and South Lanarkshire.
She joins the SDS team with a wealth of knowledge and experience in all areas of sports development. Louise is passionate about creating new opportunities and engaging participants with disabilities in sport. She returned home to Edinburgh in February 2020 to take up a maternity cover post with Scottish Disability Sport after five years of living in London and Hong Kong.
Returning to SDS following ten months working for Waterski and Wakeboard Scotland she also works part-time for Help for Heroes engaging injured and disabled veterans in sport and physical activity.
In her spare time, Louise plays basketball and netball (when her knees allow!) and is currently training to become a paddleboard instructor. Louise is looking forward to working with partners to further develop disability sport opportunities for participants, volunteers, coaches, and clubs across North and South Lanarkshire.
Welcome back, Louise!
