In early 2025, we launched recruitment for a new Player Panel—a key initiative to ensure that the lived experiences of players are truly heard and considered by both Boccia England staff and our Board.
We’re delighted to share that 13 players, representing the diverse spectrum of our sport, have stepped forward to be part of this important group. The Panel held its first meeting at the end of March and is already shaping up to be a valuable voice in our decision-making processes.
We’re also pleased to announce that Rafael Young and Sally Kidson will serve as Co-Chairs of the Panel. They will also represent the Panel on the Board Sport Committee, helping to ensure that player perspectives are embedded at the highest level of our governance.
If you’re still interested in being part of the Player Panel, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch at info@bocciaengland.org.uk.
