Goalball UK Chair John Grosvenor said:
2024 has been a year of great progress against a background of change and challenges for Goalball UK and it’s a year where our resilience, community and creativity have shone through. Looking forward, 2025 will see the launch of our new strategy – Empowering our People. This plan places our community, players, and supporters at the heart of everything we do. It is a commitment to our mission and to the continued growth and empowerment of those we serve.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to give a thank you to Mark Winder and his team. Under Mark’s leadership the Goalball UK staff team have shown professional expertise and great dedication to the sport of goalball. They could not achieve all they do without the huge support of volunteers and a big thank to all those volunteers who give their time to goalball. Finally, I am incredibly proud of the impact goalball continues to have on the many people involved. From players to officials to families, I see people come to life through goalball. You are out there creating bonds that will last for years as well as enjoying physical activity in a purpose driven environment.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
