Ethan's Story: 'The Foundation helped me feel like I mean something'

Ethan had the life of any other teenager until his world was turned upside down by the loss of his father in the summer of 2024.

Ethan had the life of any other teenager until his world was turned upside down by the loss of his father in the summer of 2024.

Bravely returning to school in September, Ethan began attending intervention sessions with Newcastle United Foundation to support his wellbeing and help rebuild his confidence in school.

Ethan’s resilience developed, inspiring him to help others by becoming a Sports Leader.

Using his passion for PE to visit primary schools and help young people access physical activity, he has become a role model and continues to make his family proud every day.
