We are absolutely thrilled to announce our official sponsorship of Talia Sisterson, a remarkably talented player from the Percy Park Panthers Rugby Club. Talia is an incredible athlete who stands as inspiration for young girls everywhere, promoting positive body image and the importance of embracing our unique selves.

In today’s world, societal pressures can often affect self-confidence, making it even more important for us to support and encourage young girls and women to pursue sports and physical activities. Talia represents resilience and empowerment, showing that strength and beauty come in many forms. Her passion for rugby reminds us that everyone has the potential to achieve great things.
As we cheer Talia and her team from the sidelines, our goal is to inspire the next generation of female athletes to break barriers and chase their dreams. We are eagerly looking forward to supporting Talia and the Percy Park Panthers in their upcoming matches and beyond. We would encourage our local community to rally behind them and show support!

“I’m incredibly thankful for the YMCA for sponsoring me this season. The sponsorship means I can continue to play and hopefully inspire other girls and women to get involved in sport, not to mention promote all the good work the YMCA consistently does as a charity! Looking forward to making more connections with the charity and seeing what this next season brings!”
