I’m incredibly proud to share that I’ve joined the Board of Trustees at Watford FC Community Sports & Education Trust. This is an organisation that holds both a strong local impact and a personal connection.
About Watford FC Community Sports & Education Trust
The Trusts mission is to help people thrive, using the power of sport, education and community engagement to support individuals across Hertfordshire and Harrow. With over 30 years of experience in delivering high-quality, inclusive programmes, the Trust works with people of all ages and backgrounds to promote physical and mental wellbeing, encourage learning, and strengthen social connections.
From health initiatives and disability football to youth mentoring, employability projects and community outreach, the breadth and depth of the Trusts work is genuinely inspiring. Their two dedicated community hubs – the Meriden Community Centre in Watford and the Cedars Youth & Community Centre in Harrow – provide safe, welcoming spaces where people can connect, grow and access vital support.
Why I joined
For me, this role is more than just a professional milestone. It’s deeply personal. I actually went to pre-school at Cedars, which makes this feel like a full circle moment. To now be in a position where I can give back is incredibly meaningful.
As a trustee, I’ll be supporting the Trusts leadership and strategic direction, helping to ensure it continues to deliver its ambitious goals while staying true to its community roots. With my background in HR I’m excited to bring a people-focused perspective to the Board and contribute to the sustainability and impact of the Trusts work.
Being part of something that genuinely makes a difference to people’s lives is both a privilege and a responsibility. I’m looking forward to learning more, rolling up my sleeves, and working alongside the fantastic team already making change happen every day.
