Pursuing Passions and Making a Difference



Nestled within the picturesque Wealden district, an ongoing collaboration between a renowned fencing supplies and garden buildings company, Newton & Frost Fencing Ltd (NFF LTD) and the esteemed charity, Wealden Works, is sowing the seeds of transformation in the lives of young adults. One bright star in this constellation is Theo, an enthusiastic and driven individual hailing from Zimbabwe, who is carving his path by blending his fervour for sports with valuable contributions to his newfound community.


A Summer of Growth

Theo's journey is a testament to resilience and unwavering determination.

Armed with a study and work visa, Theo eagerly embraces the prospect of a career journey. Although miles away from his homeland, Theo's insatiable thirst for learning and making a positive impact guided him to the threshold of Newton & Frost Fencing Ltd.


Igniting the Sporting Flame

While flourishing within his role at NFF, Theo's heart beats most passionately for sports, particularly boxing and running. A testament to his athletic prowess and dynamic spirit, Theo's life in Zimbabwe was punctuated with accolades, including a gold medal in a half marathon and remarkable contributions to the football, rugby, and school cricket teams.
