Meet the Team

Wendy Kane

Centre Manager

I’ve been part of The Pearson Centre since 1994, moving up here from working with The Boys’ Brigade in South Glamorgan. I grew up in Girls’ Brigade and began volunteering in BB when I was 12 in my home town of Sutton Coldfield. I have held lots of different roles in BB from working in my local company to being involved in organising national events prior to moving into BB employment. Although I no longer regularly volunteer in BB, it is still a big passion of mine. My volunteering time now finds me on an athletics track where I officiate – as a Starter’s Assistant. My athletics has taken me to the London Olympics, Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and Gold Coast, World Championships and I am looking forward to officiating at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. I also compete as a race walker, competing for Great Britain in Italy in 2019.
