A Santry woman has been honoured for her work in keeping homeless kids fit and active.
Sinead Ryan is a founder of Little Fitness, an educational fitness programme for children who are experiencing homelessness and living in marginalised communities. She was recently awarded €3,000 and a place on Social Entrepreneurs Ireland’s Action Lab accelerator programme, which aims to accelerate social change through the power of people.
She started her work when she was made aware of the heartbreaking difficulties children living in emergency accommodation experience at a fitness class of hers. “I was teaching a group of children when two brothers came into the class, and I just found that they were so vulnerable,” Sinead told Dublin Live.
