Donna Fraser is a 4x Olympian and former 400m sprinter for Great Britain, with a successful athletics career which spanned over 20 years and has a host of European, Commonwealth and World medals. She now works as an international speaker, strategist, and charity ambassador, dedicating much of her time to working in Business, Sport, and the charity sector to inspire and embed inclusive and diverse cultures.

Sarah Browning founded the Time for Kindness programme to encourage people to ‘see kind’ and teach them to make noticing it a habit. She also works as a communications consultant for organisations with visions of a kind world, and is mum to a 16-year-old daughter who has been playing football for more than a decade.

Donna and Sarah join Natalie Doyle to discuss the many life skills that can be developed through sport. They talk about how this has impacted their lives and the lives of people around them, why these skills are so important for women and girls, and give advice on how to support the development of these skills in young people.

In the episode we discussed the work that some clubs do around encouraging young people into volunteering. Here's a link to a great example: https://www.essexfa.com/news/2021/dec/14/tigers-jfc-london-sport-award
