My Theme for the year
As a former international athlete, I have been a long serving Member of the Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership (HSP) Board and will adopt Sport for Good as the theme for my year in office.
I am passionate about the power of sport and physical activity as a cost-effective and successful vehicle for social change in areas such as health and mental wellbeing, social inclusion, community cohesion, crime and disorder reduction, educational attainments and the development of skills leading to employment and economic prosperity. I am very much looking forward to getting those who live and work in the county ‘moving’ in this Olympic year.
I will raise money via the ‘High Sheriff Fund’ run by the independent charity, Hertfordshire Community Foundation, to help break down obstacles to opportunities for people of all ages to engage in physical activity.
