Bunny’s Story: ‘Newcastle United Foundation helped me become the person I am today'
Bunny struggled with poor mental health – diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome and identifying as a queer person of colour with disabilities came with its struggles.
Bunny struggled with poor mental health – diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome and identifying as a queer person of colour with disabilities came with its struggles.
Bunny dropped out of university, feeling hopeless with no confidence to pursue their passion for filmmaking.
Bunny qualified for support from the Foundation’s Prince’s Trust TEAM programme, and was inspired by their course leaders to feel more positive.
Social anxiety no longer held Bunny back in the safety of NUCASTLE, transforming their life to take on their first job as a runner for a TV and film production company – a dream come true for a young person who thought a bright future was beyond reach.
Newcastle United Foundation has contributed a lot to my confidence, it helped with my development and my growth in becoming who I am sat here today. I felt like I had a safe space to go to.
