Amy Joy

Co-director
I’ve been a volley with swim for refugees for years and now volunteer on the committee alongside our swimming lessons. I work in public health and it’s excellent to be part of a program which supports so many aspects of wellbeing, from water safety and physical activity to community building – it’s a joy to see
