Chantal Duffy

Chantal grew up as the youngest in her family, spending countless hours playing backyard and beach cricket—always the one bowling to her older siblings, trying her best to get them out. She was not very successful. Undeterred, sport has always been a big part of her life, playing social basketball, netball, and touch footy. When she’s not playing sport, Chantal loves meeting cool people with cool stories to tell, and is a regular at live music gigs. Each December, she has one of the more interesting Spotify Wrappeds you've seen — from opera and rap soundtracks, to baroque, indie, and Gregorian chants. Chantal is passionate about the democratisation of education, loves a memoir, and is really excited to be a member of KFK.

 

Why do I want to be a part of Kicks for Kids?

​

In so many parts of the world, access to sporting equipment is something that’s taken for granted, but for many kids, it’s something they never get to experience. I believe in the power of play to unlock joy and instil purpose & drive. I'm constantly inspired by my co-founders' passion and experience. After working in the disability space for 8 years, I'm particularly passionate about making sports accessible to people of all abilities. I’m proud to be part of a team that’s working to ensure every child, no matter their circumstances, has the chance to experience the transformative power of sport.​
