Alice Gue says "The Mount Kelly Chelsea programme has played a huge role in helping me transition smoothly to university life. Through its strong focus on football, I developed discipline, resilience, and teamwork skills that now help me both on and off the pitch. The leadership opportunities in the programme taught me how to take responsibility, communicate effectively, and support others — qualities that have been invaluable in university settings. Most importantly, the friendships I built during my time there gave me confidence, a sense of belonging, and lifelong connections.
