“I am delighted to have been nominated and shortlisted for the Chairman’s Awards 2020 for my work with England Korfball.
“I started playing when I was 10-years old and through korfball I have experienced a number of new and exciting experiences that I would normally have not been introduced to.
“I have represented my country as a player, coached young players, and now referee throughout the UK and internationally.
“Unlike some more traditional sports, korfball receives no central funding from the government or Sport England. All our youth and senior squads must cover 100% of their own training, travel and competition costs. When I was playing, I benefited from others’ generosity. My love of the sport encourages me to volunteer, so that others can play and experience some of the amazing opportunities that I have been lucky enough to experience.”
