I’m thrilled that today the @csjthinktank has launched our new report, Game Changers, offering a bold new vision for sport and young people. Sport and physical activity have, and always will be, so much more than a game ⚽️
🗣️Give kids a “Right to Sport” to help boost engagement and reduce crime.

@WilcockAlice@csjthinktank@ChildrensComm@AndyCook_CSJ Best of luck Alice! It's been a pleasure to work with you and I can't wait to see all that the future holds for you in your new role. I've never met anyone with the same level of drive and passion for education and supporting vulnerable children💫
