Outstanding Achievement Award for ASV's Fiona

Fiona, who regularly attends Walking Netball at ASV received tha Outstanding Achievement Award at the Aberdeenshire Clubsport Awards and a commendation from Scottish Parliament recognising Fiona's excellent work to raise autism and disability awareness in the North East and Scotland.

Fiona is an absolute ambassador for the development of disability sport in the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire area, she confidently and successfully raises awareness of autism and disability sport in all her sporting environments and leaves behind her people who are better informed and have learned how to be inclusive.

With walking netball at ASV, Fiona participates in the sport, learning new skills and game play in a range of positions, however, her real strength is in supporting her fellow netballers and coaches in their understanding of autism and what can be achieved both in the sporting environment and the wider community.

Fiona has provided an insight to challenges that autism can present to participation in team sports, but she has also shared the solutions that can be implemented to ensure that everyone can participate to their ability and enjoyment. She takes every opportunity that there is to advocate disability sport and has been invited to attend local and national meetings for her input.

Well done on the award Fiona, ASV are proud to have you in their family!
