Overcoming adversity to thrive in athletics

For many young children, they can’t wait to step through the gates of their athletics club, meet their friends and get started. However, for Megan Andrews, it was more of a challenge. Megan recently won the Newcomer to Volunteering award at the Yorkshire and Humberside Regional Volunteer Awards, and her journey over the last couple of years has been astounding. We caught up with Megan and her mum at the awards ceremony, to learn more about her incredible journey.

CEO blog: July 2025

On behalf of everyone at England Athletics I would like to wish all those competing in this summer’s England Athletics outdoor track and field championship programme the very best of success and enjoyment. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our hard-working volunteer Technical Officials and Event Staff, without whom this event programme would not take place and to whom we are deeply grateful for their commitment, focus, and dedication. I would like to also thank our host venues, particularly Birmingham Alexander Stadium but also partners at the Manchester Athletics Arena.
