CEO blog: looking back and moving ahead
Chris Jones reflects on a busy period for England Athletics, including Chair Gary Shaughnessy’s decision to step down. He highlights the positive social impact of the European Championships in the West Midlands, delivered through the Personal Best Foundation, and reinforces the importance of athletics in supporting physical and mental wellbeing. He reports that progress is underway on plans to establish pilot track and field participation hubs across the regions. Chris emphasises the need for continued collaboration at club level to benefit communities, and thanks volunteer leaders for their support, particularly in embracing recent age group changes.
