As part of the 20-year celebrations for the work Saints Foundation has done in the community, we had the privilege of telling 13-year-old Ellie’s story for the charity. As a key role model for younger players, we interviewed Ellie for a morning at one of her SaintsAbility sessions to find out how the Foundation had helped her defy her disabilities and gain confidence to become a skilled football player, despite challenges with her hearing and balance.
She was a delight to work with and was an inspiration to us all. In addition to the case study, we used this opportunity to shoot an advert for an upcoming charity walk, sponsored by Southampton Football Club’s partner, Vitality.
