After securing a bronze in London 2012, Rio 2016 was the Mancunian’s fourth Games and finally yielded the coveted Olympic Gold medal.

Please could you pass on our huge thanks and a lot of love from our U80 for Kate? The session was more than we could have hoped, perfectly balanced and pitched and really authentic and engaging, we really couldn’t have hoped for anything better. Thank you for the honesty and openness.

Kate gave a great speech and was amazing with taking questions from the floor. She was happy to have photos with people and chat away to the students which they all loved.
