The opportunity to work collaboratively alongside so many different clubs, leagues and organisations to drive Equality, Diversity and Inclusion across the grassroots game really excites me. Using my experience in the charitable sector, together with my volunteer roles in grassroots football, I intend to empower individuals and communities to understand and embed.
