Bethany England Visits The Nightingale
The Nightingale has been working with the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation for over three years now, delivering fitness classes to our clients and the wider North London community.
We’ve been lucky enough to have players like Ben Davies and Ledley King visit the group to take part and see the incredible work they’re doing. But one player in particular has captured the hearts of the attendees; Bethany England, Women’s First Team Captain.
Having been spurred on by her own experience of caring for her grandmother and having seen the impact of cancer on other family members, Bethany is now introducing team-mates to help support them, with Clare Hunt being the first.
Bethany said:
“My family has gone through a lot of hardship with cancer, and so if I am in a position where I am able to give back, that is exactly what I am going to do. The Foundation have so many different programmes and areas that they support in the community, I cannot think of anything better than giving back to people going through hardship.”
Adam Millar, Foundation Health and Wellbeing Programme Coordinator, said:
“We’ve got a strong relationship with everyone at Nightingale and Bethany’s support, along with Clare’s, has only served to increase levels of activity and engagement. Through her visits, she’s advocating for a holistic approach to health, aligning perfectly with our programmes that focus not only on physical wellbeing, but also mental and social wellbeing.”
We look forward to seeing Beth, Claire and many of their teammates join our inspiring clients at sessions throughout the year.
In this group, you all support each other – that’s what I love about being in a team, you’re not doing it on your own, you’ve got people behind you – Bethany England
