Sir Robert McAlpine volunteers played a vital role in the ParalympicsGB Kitting Out event recently, supporting athletes as they prepare for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
Hosted by Loughborough University, the ParalympicsGB Kitting Out event involved our Sir Robert McAlpine colleagues assisting in volunteer roles:
Our 6 volunteers ensured athletes received their ParalympicsGB kits efficiently whilst enjoying a seamless experience. The Kitting Out showrooms and Athlete lounge space was hosted at Loughborough University’s Sport Park Hub, while the Victory Hall in the Holywell Sports Centre was transformed into an impressive warehouse.
Supporting the ParalympicsGB Kitting Out was an incredibly rewarding experience. From knowing that you were doing something which was of real benefit to an incredible group of people, to the all-encompassing excitement radiating from the athletes which engulfed us all. It’s a few days which I will always look back on fondly and I thank Sir Robert McAlpine and ParalympicsGB for allowing us to be a part of it.
