Ellis with her cycling teammates (Ellis third from left)

CentreStage choir member goes for gold in Berlin!

Ellis Wilson, heads to the Special Olympics in Berlin on 11th June

Here at CentreStage we are proud of all the achievements of our participants and when someone as talented as Ellis Wilson lets us know she is heading to the Special Olympics in Berlin to compete we couldn't not shout about her achievements.

Ellis is a much loved and 'well kent' face around CentreStage taking part in our Gospel Choir, Oor Wee Choir and our Creativity Cafe every week, regularly taking to the stage during our shows and events and showcasing her wonderful art that she creates. It also turns out that the arts are not where her talents stop, Ellis has been involved in the Special Olympics GB squad since she was a youngster where she competed in horse riding.

However, this time she is switching her horse for the bike as she heads to Berlin for this summer's games to compete in cycling.

Here is Ellis' athlete's profile:

Ellis said; 'I am excited to get to Berlin but I am definitely starting to get nervous as the games get closer and closer, I just hope I can do a great job and have fun at the same time. I am usually competing with my horse so it will be a different experience this time'

You might recognise Ellis' face for a very recent campaign of ours where she shared her CentreStage story. You can watch that below.

We are all very proud of you Ellis and we will be watching closely for any medal winning moments!

CentreStage Communities is a charity based in Kilmarnock. We operate with the ethos that anyone regardless of age, background or experience can take part in, and get life changing benefits from, taking part in the arts. Our arts and wellbeing campus hosts a range of partner organisations whose shared aim is to improve wellbeing and alleviate poverty in East Ayrshire.
