Upon his appointment, Steve said:
“I’m extremely proud and excited to be given this opportunity. I take over as Chair of Trustees at a time when the Foundation is in a strong position with ambitious growth plans.
Our focus will be on supporting Joe as CEO and his incredible team as they successfully deliver the Foundation’s 3 year “Aspire-Empower-Thrive” strategy.
We will continue to deliver our quality programmes and deepen our relationship both with key local partners, and with Stevenage Football Club, working closely together whilst promoting the club at every opportunity.
Through our vision of a community where all live an active, healthy and positive life the Foundation has a strong history of positively changing the lives of many in the local community and as such I’m honoured to be a part of its success.”
