Ely Sporting Lunch Celebrates Local Talent and Inspiring Sporting Journeys

Nov 18, 2025 2 min read

SportsAid Eastern enjoyed a fantastic afternoon in Ely as supporters, partners and guests came together to celebrate the region’s emerging sporting talent.

We were delighted to welcome Dan McLellan, a rising young athlete in Power Wheelchair Football, as this event’s SportsAid recipient. Dan continues to make impressive progress in his sport, and recognising his achievements was a highlight of the afternoon. His ambition, maturity and dedication were evident, and it was wonderful to see the room get behind him.

Guests also heard from Alex Waller, Northampton Saints legend, who shared an honest and uplifting insight into his career in professional rugby. From leadership in high-pressure moments to the importance of teamwork and resilience, Alex’s stories struck a chord with everyone in the room and offered a brilliant perspective for the next generation.

The Ely lunch brought together a fantastic audience, creating a warm atmosphere of support and encouragement for young athletes across the region.

SportsAid Eastern would like to extend a huge thank you to all our sponsors, table hosts and guests for their continued generosity. Your support plays a vital role in helping talented young athletes access the coaching, equipment and opportunities they need to reach their potential.

Another memorable event, showcasing the power of community and the difference sport can make in young lives.
