Fatima Whitbread visits IoM to advocate for children and young people
A two-time Olympic medallist is visiting the Island to advocate for children and young people in care.
Fatima Whitbread is representing 'Fatima's UK Campaign'.
She's met with representatives from the National Sports Centre to discuss the impact access to sporting facilities can have on vulnerable children.
Fatima told Manx Radio it's what helped her keep focus during the 14-years she spent in in care:
