Testimonials

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
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
Legacy WM has helped me shape my skills and knowledge, providing a safe space for me to grow and learn. It's like having a routine that guides me in various tasks, similar to following a structured diet that ensures I stay healthy and efficient. The trips that Legacy WM have provided have been eye opening and very enjoyable.

Hafizah, Youth Group Member
Freedom50 charity bike ride in Bangladesh was one the greatest moments of my life, which I will cherish for as long I live.

Nasir, Freedom50 Cyclist
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
I joined badminton at the age of 13 with my younger sister at the Lighthouse Youth Centre in Lozells. Before this I had no prior experience to the sport and always felt nervous when stepping onto the court. However, after attending many sessions regularly and punctually, I began to notice improvement within my skill and also confidence.

Hafizur, Badminton Attendee
Volunteering for Legacy WM has been an incredible experience. The respectful and friendly environment of Legacy WM allows you to flourish in what you do best. Working in marketing has not only made me more confident in my skills but awakened a new passion for it as I can use it to help people and even give back to my community. Legacy WM ensures that I and everyone else like me, are proud of our cultures and continue to be.

Ikra, Community Champion
I’m delighted to be joining Legacy WM board of trustees both to support the development of a brilliant grass roots organisation in our city, and to connect The Rep with more local communities and learn how we can better serve them through our work as a major city institution.

Rachael Thomas, Executive Director at Birmingham Rep and Trustee Member
Walks around the park are relaxing. I like taking in nature and experiencing nature, whilst having great conversations with local residents. These walks have improved my life and have enabled me to continue with my passion for movement. I am now walking most mornings as a result of my role as a walk leader for Legacy WM.

Madge, Walk Leader - Every Step Matters
Clover HR are genuinely pleased to be able to support the work done by Legacy WM. We have been involved with Aftab and his Team for several years and know their tireless efforts directly and positively affect peoples lives everyday.

Michael Doolin, Chief Executive Officer for Clover HR
The youth forum I’ve been a part of since I’ve joined Legacy WM has not only allowed me to make life long friends, it’s also allowed me to enjoy thrilling activities with these people. Not only has it done this, it’s also allowed me to refine my skills in badminton which I will forever be grateful for.

Amaan, Youth Group Member
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.

Canaan, Arts Intern
