The Aberdeen Amateur Athletic Club Welfare team comprises two Welfare Officers who work together to support the variety of individuals at AAAC. Either Hannah Mutch or Ben Nelson will be at almost every training night at Aberdeen Sports Village. Please feel free to approach either officer at any point to discuss any issue or have a chat. We are committed to providing an accessible, safe and inclusive approach to Athlete Welfare and Safeguarding.
