Wakefield Trinity Community Foundation is delighted to welcome three new faces to our Health, Wellbeing & Inclusion department.
Newly appointed, Colan Leung, has spent time over the past couple of months re-working the department into his own and has now taken the plunge to appoint three new staff members to develop our projects even further.
The Health & Wellbeing strand of the Foundation is integral to ensuring both adults and children situated across the Wakefield district are as supported as possible.
Over the past couple of months, Colan and his team have overseen the success and continuation of the Big Feed- a project in which has delivered over 20,000 meals to the elderly and vulnerable across Wakefield as well as our half-term Tackling Hunger Camps.
To find out more about Jason Talbot, David Fifth and Anthony Tierney, please see below…
Our team
- After moving to Wakefield in 1981, Jason joined the RAF in 1988, serving 31 years as an Aircraft Engineering Technician before moving on to pursue other opportunities in 2019.
- Whilst serving in the RAF, Jason held the position of UK Armed Forces Rugby League General Manager for 10 years, whilst also representing the Armed Forces within the Rugby League council for eight years.
- After gaining previous experience within the role at Bradford Bulls, Jason has taken on a number of different projects, further showing his love for helping the community.
- With a part-time role at the Foundation now secured, he is looking forward to changing the lives of his local community.
- On the contrary to Jason, David has a background in the fitness industry, working as a qualified personal trainer for over 10 years.
- Through this line of work, David has had the pleasure of meeting a variety of different people with a diverse and range of abilities. Through this, he has enjoyed the opportunity to change someone’s life, mainly through their diet and lifestyle.
- After hearing about the role, David felt he could use this opportunity to help people less fortunate than him, whilst also working as part of a team to improve the local community.
- With a range of projects in the pipeline – such as the Big Feed and Activ Recovery – David is excited to meet new people, in turn, hopefully, changing their lives for the better.
- After the pandemic hit, Anthony started at the Foundation in October 2020, working as a Project Officer for the Health & Wellbeing department.
- Before working at Wakefield, Anthony studied Sports Coaching at Sheffield Hallam University before obtaining his Personal Training qualification.
- Through his passion for football and coaching, Anthony started working at Wakefield Trinity LFC Development as well as spending some time in Seville, Spain.
- As someone who isn’t from Wakefield, Anthony is looking forward to working within a team and meeting new people within the community.
