Tara Donnelly
World, European and Commonwealth Gymnast, Northern European Champion, 2x British Uni All-Around Champion, 14x Island Games Champion, 2021 Isle of Man Sportswoman of the Year.
Following on from a 17 year career in Gymnastics, Tara will take on the role of Chair of the Athlete Advisory Board. Now retired, Tara has re-shifted her focus to a career in Finance, studying her Chartered Accountancy exams.
Having been through the Isle of Man Sport Aid Programme since the age of 13, she wanted to give back to the Programme, and allow other Athlete's to feel represented, listened to and supported on a peer-level, throughout their athletic journey.
Tara feels privileged to be in a position to represent the voice of Elite Athletes on the Isle of Man Sport Aid Programme. Alongside the other Board Members, we aim to both foster and promote a positive experience of the Talent Pathway from Development to Elite level and play our part in ensuring our Island’s sporting talent reach their true potential.
