Beginning November 1st, I started a 7 week pilot for the project formerly known as ‘Just Another Football Club‘. It took me a while to decide where I wanted to run the pilot – more importantly, which area lacked sport and community based opportunities for young women (between the ages of 13-17). I met with… Continue reading Hackney’s Newest Football Club

Day in and day out I ride the London’s underground and buses alongside millions of other people. Millions of interesting, unique, different and alike, other people. Yet no one says a word.… Continue reading Just Keeping Going
