Paralympic champion Tully Kearney says volunteering at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games has given her a ‘massive appreciation’ for volunteers.
The 25-year-old completed her final shift of volunteering work at the home Games during the heats of day six – the last day of swimming action.
On her decision to volunteer, Kearney explained that Birmingham has been a ‘big part of her career’ after swimming for Boldmere, City of Birmingham and Wolverhampton. “I think it’s really important to give back to the sport. The sport has given me so much and it gave me an opportunity to see the other side and actually be able to see how much goes into it behind the scenes. It’s given me a massive appreciation for all the volunteers.” Read more of Tully’s volunteering journey here
