A: "Because I was chosen to get involved with the panel and the charity's projects"

The Access Sport Youth Board is not only a great opportunity for the chosen members, but also for the charity as a whole. We are constantly engaged with the younger generations in what we do, and the Youth Board will give us a much needed contemporary and youthful perspective on our programmes, events and general operations. The members have shown desire, ambition and selflessness during their time with us, and are a perfect fit for the Youth Board and its purpose.
