Awards | Wellbeing champion urges others to get involved in safeguarding
Claire O’Neill – the Scottish Gymnastics Awards 2025 wellbeing champion – has emphasised that you don’t need to have a background in safeguarding to get involved with it at your club.
Like many others in the community, Claire was a parent of a gymnast before she became a safeguarding officer at Dynamite Gymnastics Club. Fast forward to November 2025, she became the wellbeing champion. It was a night that she described as being special for her family and the club.
Claire has received a lot of praise for implementing the club portal system at Dynamite. It has helped the gym to track any safeguarding concerns. That’s on top of all her other efforts to make the club as safe and enjoyable as possible for all.
