Natasha Kerr

Age: 19
Location: East Ayrshire

Natasha completed a work placement in Leisure Development before being invited to volunteer with the organisation. She is completing the HND Sports Coaching and Development programme at Ayrshire College and volunteers 7 days a week.

Not only has volunteering changed the lives of the children that Natasha works with, it’s done wonders for her as well. Natasha has selective mutism and is on the autistic spectrum, which meant that she has always struggled with new environments and talking to new people.

She was Volunteer of the Year and Youth Worker of the Year at the YoungScot awards 2016, and has been nominated for The Herald Higher Education Awards for Outstanding Contribution to the Local Community.
