Role

Office Manager

Apsana plays a key role in supporting Legacy WM with its wellbeing agenda and she ensures that all projects are monitored.

Apsana joined Legacy WM in January 2015, bringing a wealth of community work experience. She started her journey as a volunteer, moving into paid work at Saathi House – a women’s centre based in Aston. Apsana was also one of the leading lights at the Bangladeshi Youth Forum where she headed up the youth work and employment team.

Apsana is a trained mentor and has worked extensively with secondary school pupils. She has a natural ability to engage with individuals who are considered ‘hard to reach’. Apsana is equally adept at building relationships and is a key player in several strategic partnerships in northwest Birmingham.

Testimonials

I had the best time on this trip! I had the amazing opportunity to learn and grow in many different ways, as well as meet some wonderful people along the way for the first time. Thank you.

Hana , Freedom50 Cyclist
Your coaches are doing a tremendous job with our children. Not only are you training them to become great badminton players, but you are also teaching them great discipline and behaviour, making them understand the importance of healthy competition as well as developing a strong passion for the game.

Kids Badminton Attendee, Parent
I've been volunteering at Legacy WM and just wanted to say a huge thank you to the team here. They've all been amazing and supported my journey throughout. I've really learned a lot and there's a lot I will take with me in terms of for my future and my personal development.

Isha, Community Champion
Riding with the Freedom50 group is amazing, its great company, mostly enjoyable (when it’s not too hilly, but hey, that’s where the best memories are made and where you get the best laughs!). It’s a brilliant way to stay fit, and coupled with charity rides, a great way to raise money for a needy cause.

Kois, Freedom50 Cyclist
My experience volunteering has been nothing short of inspiring - local artists, and community leaders, has encouraged me to dig deeper into the socio-political histories of Birmingham. Working alongside staff has been a grounding experience for me. I feel more capable to engage with the world critically, consciously, and optimistically.
