As Chair, I help guide the overall direction of the club and support the committee in making decisions that are right for everyone involved. I chair our committee meetings and AGM, making sure all voices are heard and that we continue to move forward together.I also work on the club’s long-term plans, including sponsorship opportunities, funding applications, and ideas that will help the club grow and thrive. Another important part of my role is representing the club within the local community and building positive relationships with local authorities, businesses, and the County FA.

As Club Welfare Officer, my main priority is making sure our club is a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable place for all players, especially our under-18s. I help ensure that everyone involved with the club understands their safeguarding responsibilities and follows our Child Protection Policy.I also support the administration of FA DBS checks and make sure coaches and volunteers complete the required safeguarding training. If any safeguarding concerns arise, I’m the first point of contact and will work closely with the County FA to make sure they are dealt with appropriately and confidentially.

I’m the main point of contact between the club, the League, and the County FA, and I manage important paperwork such as club affiliation and player registrations.I also handle official correspondence, support our managers with administrative tasks, and help process any disciplinary matters. In addition, I organise committee meetings, take minutes, and maintain the club’s records so that everything is up to date and easy to access when needed.
