Get in touch:

I worked for Sport England for 10 years, shaping their policy on working with communities. I left with a colleague Jane Ashworth, and we set up a national charity called StreetGames with a couple of mates. It was meant to be a specialist think tank influencing national policy on how sport could contribute to tackling some of the negative effects of child poverty, but it grew to be huge with over 600 projects using sport to develop thousands of disadvantaged children and young people. 

I left to join Active Essex in 2017, I wrote the bid to secure a Sport England Local Delivery Pilot, then stayed for six years to help deliver the LDP when we were lucky enough to secure one of the 12 spots. The work on the LDP has been so enlightening and creative, working with great people to undertake some courageous leadership together and some real change in Essex.  

I play a leadership role for Active Essex in our LDP deepening work and our 3 new Place Partnerships. I am also a facilitator for the new LGA/Sport England 2-day leadership course being delivered to every Place Partnership.
